Advances in Maxillofacial Reconstruction: The Role of Vascularized Bone Grafts and Robotic Surgery
Presenter: Dongwook Kim, MD, DDS, PhD
While non-vascularized bone grafts have shown improved results with recent advancements in tissue engineering, vascularized grafts remain essential for patients with composite defects or malignant tumors requiring radiation therapy. Simply addressing hard tissue defects with bone grafts can lead to complications. Therefore, reconstructing in a vascularized state becomes critical to promote functional recovery and prevent complications.
This session will review cases where vascularized bone grafts are necessary, depending on the disease, anatomical location, and extent of the defect. We will also explore RT-proof reconstruction, as well as the "Jaw in a Day" approach.
Additionally, we will discuss how robotic surgery can be integrated with vascularized bone grafts in the maxillofacial region, minimizing visible scarring on the face and neck during the reconstruction of these complex defects.
Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the importance of vascularized tissue in maxillofacial defect reconstruction.
