Abstract
Customised implants created by Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) techniques and used in
maxillofacial reconstruction indicate improved outcomes over conventional techniques.
‘‘Non-functional’’ multistaged procedures are commonly carried out in the treatment of
malignancy, often involving the harvesting of hard and soft tissue from a second surgical site.
External approaches are associated with an increase in surgical trauma.
