  • Title: Mandibular reconstruction with microvascular bone transfer. Series of 10 patients.
    Author: Silverberg B, Banis JC, Acland RD.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1985 Oct; 150(4):440-6. PubMed ID: 3901788.
    Abstract:
    Mandibular reconstruction with microvascular bone transfer was carried out in 10 patients, including 8 with far advanced intraoral carcinoma and 2 with posttraumatic facial and mandibular defects. Eight patients presented with compromised defects as a result of radiation injury, infection, and scarring. Nine patients experienced primary bony union with complete functional and esthetic reconstruction of the mandible, and two patients eventually received dentures. This technique has resulted in a more effective, more reliable, and earlier reconstruction compared with conventional methods.
