Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta, 6-129 Clinical Sciences Building, 11304 - 83 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB, T6G 2G3, Canada.
Purpose: Despite the significance and complexity of tongue reconstruction surgery, a digital tool for flap design is currently lacking. This study investigates the effectiveness of employing inverse finite element method (IFEM) for meticulously designing the geometric characteristics of harvested tissue (free flap) for tongue reconstruction.
Methods: In the case of an artificially simulated hemiglossectomy, IFEM algorithm was applied for algorithmic flap design.
