Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the impact and cost-effectiveness of virtual surgical planning during fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction on peri- and postoperative data. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study from January 2012 to December 2016 in four French university centres. Results: Three hundred fibula free flaps for mandibular reconstruction were performed in 294 patients. Surgeries were planned in 29.7% of cases (n = 89). There was no significant difference in the rate of negative-margins excision, median length of hospital stay, operative time, and early complications between planned and non-planned surgeries. Morphological analysis revealed a higher rate of centred occlusion in planned patients (satisfactory alignment of interincisal points: Planned 65.5% vs Non-Planned 33.3%, p = 0.006). Conclusion: In mandibular reconstruction by fibula free flap, the additional cost generated by virtual surgical planning does not seem to be balanced by savings resulting from a shorter operative course, a reduced hospital stay, or a reduction in postoperative complications. However, virtual surgical planning may provide a higher rate of centred occlusion. Long-term benefits should be assessed by further studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
