Article Synopsis
- Virtual surgical planning for head and neck reconstruction is increasingly using 3D-printed patient-specific titanium implants (PSIs), sparking debate over their effectiveness compared to traditional stock reconstruction plates.
- The study aimed to evaluate and compare the volumetric accuracy of PSIs versus stock plates in patients undergoing VSP-guided mandibular fibular free flap reconstructions at Mayo Clinic from 2016 to 2023.
- Surgical accuracy was measured by comparing preoperative plans and postoperative results, with lower root mean square error (RMSE) values indicating higher accuracy, while various patient characteristics were also considered in the analysis.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine if supervised machine learning algorithms can accurately predict voided computerized physician order entry in oral and maxillofacial surgery inpatients.
Methods: Data from Electronic Medical Record included patient demographics, comorbidities, procedures, vital signs, laboratory values, and medication orders were retrospectively collected. Predictor variables included patient demographics, comorbidities, procedures, vital signs, and laboratory values.
Background: Virtual surgical planning (VSP), computer aided design/computer aided modeling, and 3-dimensional printing technology have been shown to improve surgical accuracy and efficiency in head and neck reconstruction. However, persisting criticism of the technology is that it does not adequately address the soft tissue-related aspects of reconstructive surgery. Prior publication on the computed tomographic angiography (CTA) perforator localization technique has demonstrated how soft tissue planning can be incorporated directly into existing VSP workflows.

Vascularized bone grafting has been shown to effectively manage these defects; however, donor sites are limited. The vascularized medial femoral condyle (MFC) provides adequate cortical cancellous bone with the option of a skin island, consistent anatomy, and minimal donor site morbidity.

The purpose of this article is to measure the frequency of adverse anesthetic events related to ambulatory surgical procedures performed under intravenous (IV) sedation by the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Mayo Clinic during a 15-year period using the team anesthesia model.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was designed, and a sample of subjects identified undergoing IV sedation at Mayo Clinic from 2004 to 2019.
