A team of surgeons at NYU Langone Medical Center headed by Dr. David L. Hirsch performed a cutting-edge jaw surgery on a patient with a fast growing tumor called ameloblastoma. After removing a large section of the patient’s jaw bone with the tumor, the surgeons then rebuilt the patient’s jaw using a section of the fibula bone.

Doctors planned every step of the operation virtually on computers to get optimal results.
