Summary
This study tested whether using computer-based virtual planning before jaw reconstruction surgery improves patients' quality of life compared to standard surgery. 132 adults with oral or oropharyngeal cancer who needed a fibula free-flap reconstruction took part. The main goal was to measure oral health-related quality of life one year after surgery using a questionnaire.
