These allowed for accurate segments of bone for harves=ng, precise osteotomy sites and fixa=on points for the custom-­‐made plate. Guides also assisted with precise resec=on of mandibular segment based on imaging of disease Whole Mandible Anterior Mandible •  Accurate & predictable reconstruc=on •  Saves 30-­‐60min •  Mill plates thinner and stronger •  Simplifies resec=on •  Improves accuracy of resec=on margins •  Custom designed plates •  A case note review was performed of the iden=fied pa=ents • Pre-­‐opera=ve CT scanning performed as rou=ne with 5mm slices. CT scan of intended fibula for harves=ng also imaged Intra-­‐oral wound dehiscence Right mandible with sparing of TMJ Right Mandible Advantages •  Each case had specific issues requiring complex planning • All pa=ents discussed in the Northern Head & Neck Cancer Unit mul=disciplinary team and subsequently seen by both Maxillofacial and Plas=c Surgery teams 55 Complica/ons Intra-­‐opera/ve photos with guide on mandible & fibula Cost (UK prices) Average Head & Neck Reconstruc/on £25 – 50 000 • Standard plates £600 -­‐ £800 each • 3D Model £280 • Pa=ent specific plates £1 400 • ProPlan CMF System package / pt £1 200 • Difference of £120 – £380 • Difference chargeable in UK to payment provider Conclusions • So4ware provides simple, reproducible method to aid mandibular reconstruc=on • Allows execu=on of pre-­‐planned procedures, simplifies the osteotomies, reduces the risk of surgical error and opera=ve =me
