Microvascular free tissue transfer has been one of the greatest milestones in reconstruction of the mandible and maxilla after tumor ablative surgery. Although fibula free flap reconstruction allows for immediate bony reconstruction, dental rehabilitation usually requires 6 to 12 months before it is completed. This can have a serious psychological impact on patients because they go without teeth during this time-frame. The "jaw-in-a-day'' procedure was previously described by a group at New York University Medical Center. It allowed for tumor removal and full jaw reconstruction and dental rehabilitation in 1 surgery. This report describes 3 patients treated with this novel technique and adds to the 4 cases previously reported in the literature. To their knowledge, the authors are the second group to report on this technique. A series of photographs and videos are referenced in this article to illustrate the different steps used in this procedure. (C) 2016 The Authors.
