    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthognathic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Corticocancellous bone grafts are essential for orthognathic and facial reconstructive procedures.
    • Traditional graft harvesting methods can lead to significant donor site morbidity and prolonged recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new, minimally invasive method for obtaining corticocancellous bone grafts.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in reducing patient morbidity and improving graft quality.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel surgical approach involving raising an osteoperiosteal flap from the iliac crest.
    • Procurement of a medial corticocancellous bone block through this flap.
    • Application in orthognathic and facial reconstructive surgery.
