Adherence to Computer-Assisted Surgical Planning in 136 Maxillofacial Reconstructions.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the adherence to initially planned maxillofacial reconstructions using computer-assisted surgery (CAS) and to identify the influential factors affecting its compliance for maxillofacial reconstruction.

Patients and methods

A retrospective analysis of 136 computer-assisted maxillofacial reconstructive surgeries was conducted from January 2014 to June 2020. The categorical parameters involved age, gender, disease etiology, disease site, defect size, bone flap segments, and flap type. Apart from descriptive data reporting, categorical data were related by applying the Fisher-exact test, and a p-value below 5% was considered statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Results

The main reasons for partial or non-adherence included unfitness, patient heal
