Introduction 3D printing seems to have more and more applications in maxillofacial surgery
(MFS), particularly since the release on the market of general use 3D printers several years …

Microvascular free flap reconstruction has remained the standard of care in reconstruction of
large tissue defects following ablative head and neck oncologic surgery, especially for bony …

Background: Computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction facilitates preoperative surgery
simulation and transfers the virtual plan to a real operation. This systematic review and meta …

Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) for mandibular reconstruction was developed to improve
conventional treatment methods. In the past years, many different software programs have …

Objectives Virtual surgical planning (VSP) uses patient-specific modelling of the facial
skeleton to provide a tailored surgical plan which may increase accuracy and reduce …

Background The traditional approach to head and neck reconstruction is considered
challenging, requiring a subjective assessment of an often-complex defect followed by …

Abstract Background Three-dimensional (3D) printing has changed surgical practice over
the past few years, especially in maxillofacial surgery. However, little is known about its real …

The aim of the study was to assess if there is a time difference (operative time, ischemia
time, planning time and hospitalization) between computer-assisted surgery (CAS) and …

Background: Virtual surgical planning and computer-aided design/computer-aided
manufacturing (CAD/CAM) for complex head and neck reconstruction has a number of cited …

Background Mandibular reconstruction is conventionally performed freehand, CAD/CAM-
assisted, or by using partially adjustable resection aids. CAD/CAM-assisted reconstructions …
