Video Summary

In this surgical procedure, the accuracy of a fibula-based maxillary reconstruction is assessed by comparing it to a virtual surgical model. Techniques such as cutting guides and rigid fixation with screws are used to achieve precise reconstruction. Immediate dental implants are placed with careful planning, allowing for a healing period before radiotherapy. Post-surgery steps include vestibuloplasty and fitting a temporary prosthesis to ensure effective osseointegration. Surgical planning and 3D printing contribute to modern maxillary reconstructions, ensuring functional and cosmetic success, as seen in post-operative photos. The process highlights the importance of precision in surgical oncology.
