Over the past decade, advances in preoperative digital planning, intraoperative technologies, and robotic platforms have reshaped reconstructive strategies, giving rise to the concept of hybrid reconstruction. Hybrid approaches integrate free tissue transfer with computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD\/CAM), virtual surgical planning, intraoperative navigation, and robot-assisted microsurgery to enhance precision, reproducibility, and functional outcomes. This narrative review examines the principles and applications of hybrid reconstruction in head and neck surgery with particular emphasis on osseous reconstruction of the mandible, maxilla, and midface. The roles of intraoperative navigation and robotic assistance as enabling tools are discussed, along with their potential benefits and current limitations. Functional and morphologic outcomes, patient-reported quality of life, and challenges related to cost, access, training, and evidence heterogeneity are critically reviewed. Hybrid reconstruction represents an advancement toward outcomes-driven, patient-centered care; however, thoughtful integration of emerging technologies and continued emphasis on rigorous outcome assessment are essential to guide responsible adoption in contemporary head and neck reconstructive surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15082963","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]],"date-time":"2026-04-14T10:29:08Z","timestamp":1776162548000},"page":"2963","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Hybrid Reconstruction in Head and Neck Surgery: Integration of Virtual Planning, Navigation, and Robotic Microsurgery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6658-254X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas J.","family":"Sorenson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hansjorg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery, NYU-Langone Health, New York, NY 10016, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Lisk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hansjorg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery, NYU-Langone Health, New York, NY 10016, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-0837-6680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexis B.","family":"Jacobson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Head and Neck Surgery, NYU-Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Jacobson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, NYU-Langone Health, New York, NY 10016, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamie P.","family":"Levine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hansjorg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery, NYU-Langone Health, New York, NY 10016, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"968e","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0000000000000722","article-title":"Important aspects of head and neck reconstruction","volume":"134","author":"Hanasono","year":"2014","journal-title":"Plast.
