In-House Surgeon-Led Virtual Surgical Planning for Maxillofacial Reconstruction.

Purpose: Virtual surgical planning (VSP) and custom fabricated cutting guides for maxillofacial reconstruction have been shown to improve the accuracy of bony reconstruction and overall surgical efficiency and decrease the ischemia time. Our aim was to describe an in-house VSP technique for maxillofacial reconstructive procedures.

Materials And Methods: We used 2 free software applications.

A Comprehensive Clinical Care Pathway for Microvascular Maxillofacial Reconstructive Surgery.

Purpose: Clinical care pathways (CCPs) for major surgical procedures are less developed. We describe the development of a comprehensive microvascular maxillofacial reconstruction CCP and evaluate the impact.

Materials And Methods: Our team developed a comprehensive CCP for patients undergoing microvascular free flap reconstruction for benign or malignant tumors.
