By the time Vincent came to Johns Hopkins for head and neck cancer treatment, he required extensive reconstruction of his jaw and face. A multidisciplinary team that included oral and maxillofacial surgeon Robin Yang, maxillofacial prosthodontist Ghassan Sinada, and plastic and reconstructive surgeon Sami Tuffaha devised an innovative three-part surgery to use his fibula to construct a new upper jaw, in which they mounted dental implants. After being without a smile that he felt comfortable with, Vincent is now able to grin confidently from ear to ear. #CraniofacialReconstructiveSurgery #JohnsHopkins
