In mandibular reconstruction by fibula free flap, the additional cost generated by virtual surgical planning does not seem to be balanced by savings resulting from a shorter operative course, a reduced hospital stay, or a reduction in postoperative complications. However, virtual surgical planning may provide a higher rate of centred occlusion. Long-term benefits should be assessed by further studies.
