Julio Acero: State of the Art in Mandibular Reconstruction - Techniques and Advances

WHAT IS THIS EVENT ABOUT?

Mandibular bone loss can result in severe aesthetic and functional challenges for patients, creating complex cases for reconstructive maxillofacial surgeons. The advent of microvascular surgery has revolutionized mandible reconstruction, offering the ability to transfer vascularized bone and soft tissues with a high success rate.

In this insightful session, Dr. Acero will discuss:

• Key donor sites for vascularized reconstruction: fibula, iliac crest, and scapula.
• Detailed analysis of each method's advantages and limitations.
• Nonvascularized methods and their application in selected cases.
• Case planning and strategies to optimize reconstructive outcomes.

Whether you're a surgeon looking to enhance your reconstructive techniques or simply interested in learning more about mandibular reconstruction, this talk is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable insights from a leading expert in maxillofacial surgery.
