VSP began to be used in bone flaps and is now also used in soft tissue flaps for precise localization of the skin perforators of the flap and in ablative virtual surgery to enhance the localization of the soft tissue flaps. In the latter, it is used for precise localization of the skin perforators of the flap and in ablative virtual surgery to establish the reconstructive needs and the most appropriate flap thickness for each reconstruction. Virtual surgical planning and computer-aided design (CAD) allows preplanning of the oncologic resection, flap dimensions, and osteotomies in the bone flap [[12]]. The search for standardized protocols has been a constant concern in Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgery. [Extracted from the article]
