Clark had his mandibulectomy done at The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. An oral/maxillofacial surgeon and a plastic surgeon did the work. They used his left fibula and he had a beautiful outcome. If you PM me, I will give you the names and contact info for them. It is a huge surgery and I agree that you should feel confident in team you choose. Clark was in the hospital for 8 days. His team has done many of these procedures. My best to you as you make your decision.
