Survival of vascularized osseous flaps in mandibular reconstruction: A network meta-analysis.

Objective: An evidence regarding which bony flap for reconstruction of mandibular defects following tumour resection is associated with the highest survival rate is still lacking. This network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to guide surgeons selecting which vascularized osseous flap is associated with the highest survival rate for mandibular reconstruction.

Methods: From inception to March 2021, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane library were searched to identify the eligible studies.
