Computer-Assisted Mandibular Reconstruction with Monocortical DCIA Flap; A Case Report

Abstract

Recently, computer-assisted surgery is popular for performing well-planned operations. Computer-aided navigation system is helpful in maxillofacial surgery with real time instrument positioning and clear anatomic identification. Generally, segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction flap surgery have done by extra-oral approach such as, submandibular approach. This case report describes performing intra-oral segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction with monocortical deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap and CT guided implant surgery by using computer-aided surgical guide and navigation for managing ameloblastoma in a 31 years old female patient.Key WordsZZComputer-aided surgery ㆍNavigation surgery ㆍMandibulectomy ㆍDCIA flap ㆍCT guided implant surgery.
