From the AAOMS podcast library, Drs. Nicholas Callahan and Michael Miloro discuss the recent JOMS article on nerve reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate functional sensory recovery of immediate IAN allograft reconstruction performed during ablative mandibular resection at one year following surgery.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Identify benefits of immediate inferior alveolar nerve reconstruction during mandibular resection.
- Evaluation patient- and pathology-specific factors influencing IAN graft success.
- Discuss current limitations and future research directions in nerve reconstruction for malignant IAN defects.
