Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Surgical duration – impact of digital marking and navigation on operative time | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • R status of tumor resection (microscopic tumor clearance) – as the central oncological treatment goal • Sensitivity of resected lymph node samples regarding tumor positivity – i.e., the diagnostic accuracy of navigated lymph node sampling in detecting metastases • Preoperative planning time – effort required to generate the digital patient model and prepare the surgical procedure • Objectification of interdisciplinary communication – measured using standardized questionnaires among radiology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pathology, radiation oncology, etc. • Feasibility in daily clinical practice – practical integration of digital navigation under routine conditions (questionnaires) • Improvement in the topographic localization of frozen sections and lymph node samples – compared to the purely anatomical-descriptive standard method (questionnaires) | — |
