Various methods currently exist to guide fibular osteotomy positioning in fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction, but patient-specific navigation methods and cutting guides require experience, and may be time-consuming and/or expensive. This stud...
PURPOSE: This work proposes a robot-assisted augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation system for mandibular reconstruction. The system accurately superimposes the preoperative osteotomy plan of the mandible and fibula into a real scene. It assists ...
Precision and safety are crucial in performing fibula osteotomy during mandibular reconstruction with free fibula flap (FFF). However, current clinical methods, such as template-guided osteotomy, have the potential to cause damage to fibular vessels....
