Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Difference between the two methods in the deviation of the drawn and planned edge length in mm. For this purpose, the phantom model is digitized with a scanner and the local flap plastics drawn in it are measured.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Differences between the two methods in the minimum resection distance and resection area - Difference between the two methods in the deviation of the drawn and planned angles in degrees - Comparison of the workload (measured using NASA-TLX) between the two methods - Total duration of drawing of all planned local flaps in comparison between both methods
