APPLICATION OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED DESIGN AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING TECHNIQUE IN COMPOSITE OROMANDIBULAR RECONSTRUCTION BY OSTEOCUTANEOUS FIBULAR FREE FLAP: A CASE REPORT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Mandibular defect reconstruction with surgical guide based on computer-assisted design and three-dimensional printing technology has been widely used in the world for several decades. This technique has demonstrated great advantages over traditional methods, but has not been used much in Vietnam. We present here a case of complex oromandibular defect reconstruction after cancer resection by osteocutaneous fibular free flap with the application of surgical guide created by virtual surgery. Case description: A 62-year-old male patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the left mandibular gingiva. His tumor was widely resected and both segmental mandibular defect and mucosal defect were replaced by components of osteocutaneous fibular free flap with the aid of computer-assisted design surgical guide and three-dimensional printing technology. The result is good in both terms of function and aesthetics of the face.
