Abstract
- Multidisciplinary treatment, combining ablative surgery and reconstruction, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, is used to treat advanced oral cancers. In this study, we report a case of extensive osteoradionecrosis of the mandible following multidisciplinary treatment for tongue cancer, in which a computer-assisted, patient-specific custom-made cutting guide and reconstruction plate(TruMatch® )were used to improve the patient's facial morphology and oral-maxillofacial functioning. A 70-year-old man received multidisciplinary treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the left side of the tongue (cT3N2bM0, cStage ⅣA)at a previous hospital. Seven years postoperatively, bilateral osteoradionecrosis of the mandible developed, and the patient was referred to our department for further treatment. Since the lesions were extensive, we planned reconstructive surgery using the TruMatch® system in collaboration with the plastic surgery department of our hospital. Surgery was performed precisely and accurately according to the preoperative simulation. Postoperatively, the patient's recovery was uneventful. The TruMatch® system enables us to achieve good morphological and comprehensive functional oral-maxillofacial reconstruction.
