Evaluation of virtual surgical planning and three-dimensional configurations for reconstruction of maxillary defects using the fibula free flap.

Background: Maxillary reconstructive surgery with fibula free flaps (FFFs) is a challenging procedure for head and neck surgeons. However, virtual surgical planning (VSP) and three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies have contributed to improved functional and aesthetic outcomes. The objective of this report is to demonstrate VSP/3D application in reconstruction of maxillary defects using the FFF by describing the different configurations available.

Basal cell adenoma in maxillary sinus: unusual presentation.

We report a case of basal cell adenoma of a minor salivaly gland in the maxillary sinus, an extremely infrequent location. We have not found similar previous cases reported.
