The Effect of Prior Radiotherapy on Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Free Flap Reconstruction of the Head and Neck.
[BACKGROUND] Free tissue transfer is standard of care in the reconstruction of large defects in the head and neck. Many patients who undergo free flap reconstruction have had prior head and neck radiotherapy (HNRT). The aim of this study is…

Developing a metric for bone union in mandibular reconstruction using quantitative CT.
[BACKGROUND] Objective quantification of bone union after mandibular reconstruction is important for evaluating reconstructive outcomes, yet current assessments are largely semi-quantitative. [OBJECTIVE] To explore the feasibility of using…

Preoperative Frailty Screening in Head and Neck Cancer: A Prospective Comparison of Three Assessment Tools.
[BACKGROUND] Whilst guidelines recommend routine frailty screening for elderly patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), no consensus exists on the preferred tool to predict postoperative morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the p…

Biomechanical assessment in virtual surgical planning for mandibular reconstruction.
The fibula free flap has been widely used for reconstructing large segmental bone defects in the maxillofacial region. While mandibular reconstruction requires a high degree of precision, the impact of surgical deviations on clinical outcom…

A comparison of facial contour and patient-reported outcomes following zygomatic implant perforated (ZIP) flaps and fibular osseous flaps for maxillary reconstruction.
The zygomatic implant perforated (ZIP) flap is an alternative to the fibular free flap (FFF) for maxillary reconstruction with dental rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to compare facial contour and patient-reported outcomes in match…

A comparison of preoperative soft tissue contour versus bone accuracy as a predictor of quality of life outcomes in osseous free flap jaw reconstruction using occlusal-based virtual surgical planning.
[OBJECTIVES] Occlusal-based virtual surgical planning (VSP) prioritises the placement of endosseous dental implants, over replicating native bone contour. This may compromise facial aesthetics. This study aimed to compare function and healt…
- Zygomatic Implant Perforated Flap vs Fibula Osseous Flap Maxillary Reconstruction.

What is the force required to treat trismus in patients undergoing oral cavity free flap reconstruction?
[BACKGROUND] Trismus therapy is often delayed after jaw reconstruction to avoid hardware failure or non-union. The aim of this study is to document the forces that have been applied to patients undergoing free flap reconstruction of the ora…
- Virtual surgical planning for combined nasal, dental and maxillary reconstruction with the prefabricated fibula flap.
-
Virtual reality digital surgical planning for jaw reconstruction: a usability study.
[BACKGROUND] Digital surgical planning (DSP) has revolutionized the preparation and execution of the management of complex head and neck pathologies. The addition of virtual reality (VR) allows the surgeon to have a three-dimensional experi…

Clinical application of 3-dimensional tissue volume assessment using CloudCompare.
Adjunctive procedures, including autologous fat grafting and surgical debulking, may be required to optimise facial contours following maxillomandibular reconstruction. A standardised method for the quantitative analysis of volumetric chang…
- Use of Kirschner wires to assist with plate alignment in jaw reconstruction.
