Evolution of Bony Microsurgical Reconstruction of the Jaws

In this chapter on the evolution of bony microsurgical reconstruction with emphasis on the head and neck region, we have discussed the journey to modern-day fibular jaw reconstruction using safe and reliable techniques in the context of five landmark publications that have guided this evolution. Other references are cited to provide some perspective as it is impossible to cover such a large topic with just five references. Though individual techniques are not discussed in detail, their impact in shifting clinical practice and assisting the reconstructive surgeon to deliver improved outcomes cannot be understated.
