Abstract
The mandible is essential to eating, communication and facial proportions. Generally, ablative segmental mandibulectomy defects are best reconstructed with microsurgical free tissue transfer of the fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap in isolated bone, compound and composite defects. Extensive composite defects may benefit from an additional soft tissue free flap with minimal donor site morbidity, such as from the anterolateral thigh. Osseointegrated dental implants in select patients complete total mandibular rehabilitation.
