Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary study parameter is the number of patients successfully completing an MRI-only workflow for virtual surgical planning (VSP) in segmental mandibulectomy with fibula free flap reconstruction. This is defined as a segmental mandibulectomy with fibula free flap reconstruction using 3D printed cutting guides designed from MRI based models.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary study parameters are: 1) The accuracy of virtual bone models of the mandible, fibula and tibia generated from MRI data compared to those derived from CT data. 2) The weighted kappa in radiological artery anatomy and patency assessments between MRI and CT scans. 3) The incidence of 3D-printed cutting guides, based on MRI models, that do not fit appropriately during surgery. 4) the surgical accuracy, defined as the deviation (in mm) between the planned and achieved outcomes. This will be calculated by virtually aligning the 3D model of the post-operative cone beam CT (CBCT) scan with the MRI-based surgical plan.
