Planning study for jaw reconstruction surgery
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study helps teams plan surgery for people who need part of the lower jaw removed and rebuilt using special tissue flaps. It mainly looks at whether having specific pre-surgery CT images is possible and useful for reconstruction planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and need mandibulectomy (lower jaw surgery).
- Your reconstruction must use a fibula or scapula free flap (a piece of tissue moved from your leg or shoulder area).
- You can understand study information and participate (including language and thinking ability).
- You can give informed consent (agree to take part after being told the details).
- You must be able to get a CT scan of your head close to surgery (within 30 days, and ideally a head CT no later than 6 days before surgery).

This trial studies whether a new surgical reconstruction method can improve outcomes for people with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (a type of head and neck cancer). The goal is to rebuild the area using a tissue flap while reducing problems where the tissue is taken from.
This trial tests a personalized exercise and support program for people recovering from oral cancer surgery with a jaw or mouth reconstruction using a piece of bone from the leg or hip. It aims to help you recover better and improve your daily life after surgery.
This trial studies current standard care for people who need jawbone reconstruction after cancer surgery. It aims to document the costs and outcomes of using a piece of bone from another part of the body (a free bone flap) to rebuild the face.
This trial tests whether using a virtual 3D model to plan and bend metal plates before surgery helps people with complex jaw fractures heal better. It may lead to shorter surgery time and more accurate results.
This trial uses computer simulations to predict how your facial soft tissues will change after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to make the surgical planning more accurate and help you see possible outcomes beforehand.
This study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
