Zusammenfassung: | Background
The study's objective is to assess the feasibility and utility of VSP for maxillary reconstruction with the scapular free flap.
Methods
An open‐source VSP platform was used to create the reconstruction models and simple guides. Clinical, operative, and postoperative data were collected.
Results
Ten patients in the VSP cohort and 18 in the non‐VSP control cohort were included in the study. There was a significant reduction in operative time (256.0 ± 69.4 vs. 448.1 ± 108.2 min, p |
