Comparison of CAD/CAM and conventional microvascular free bone flaps in reconstructive head and neck surgery: a retrospective analysis of over 110 cases
CAD/CAM-techniques reveal advantages, such as reduced ischemic time when compared to the conventional technique and enables extensive reconstructive surgery even for older patients. Nevertheless, due to the retrospective character with heterogeneous study groups, further research is highly recommended to evaluate long-term outcomes and further define the role of CAD/CAM in oncologic head and neck reconstruction.
