The aim of this article is to describe a few simple and atraumatic methods for mandibular reconstruction following the ablation of tumors or traumas. These reconstruction techniques are indicated for rebuilding short mandibular defects (less than 4 cm) or for patients in poor general condition with larger defects that cannot be remedied using longer and more complicated procedures. Five types of osteotomies were used: "C," single, double, bilateral sliding, and sagittal sliding. Osteotomies were performed on 14 patients, 13 with malignant tumors and one with a gunshot wound. Good results were obtained in 10 patients, total failure occurred in two, and complications without failure of the reconstruction arose in the other two.
