Simultaneous restoration of function and appearance should be performed in mandibular reconstruction. Option of reconstructive techniques is determined by cause, location, extent, and classification of the mandibular defects. Vascularize bone graft is one of the most popular technique in current clinical practice of mandibular reconstruction. Fibula is the most common donor site for mandibular reconstruction. The disadvantage of low height of neo-mandible reconstructed by single fibular segment can be solved by vascularized double barrel fibula graft. Using virtual surgical planning and intraoperative navigation for mandibular reconstruction leads to simplify surgical procedure, reduce operating time and injury, and decrease donor site morbidity so that accurate mandibular reconstruction could be completed. Direction of minimal invasive surgery for mandibular reconstruction will be developed by intraoral approach and intraoral anastomosis.
