Video Summary

The video discusses modern maxillary reconstruction using immediate dental implants for a 65-year-old man with recurrent adenoid cystic cancer. The process begins with planning osteotomies and resecting the required bone. Virtual surgical planning helps ensure accurate communication between the surgeons, reducing operative time and improving outcomes. The procedure involves the fibula's perforator location for precise positioning of the cutting guide and dental implants, particularly for small segment reconstructions. Using a 3.5 cm fibula segment, postoperative photos show the reconstructed area with implants in place, addressing the palatal defect effectively.
