Abstract
Pediatric craniomaxillofacial reconstruction must be approached through the lens of growth and durability. A systematic approach of matching defects to donor tissue drives the selection of autologous donor material. The menu of available techniques for reconstruction can be organized in a ladder, similar to adults, with additional considerations. Reconstructive surgeons have the opportunity to promote and maintain young patients' sense of identity during their psychosocial development.
