Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Medical Technology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Head and neck tumor resection is complex due to 3D anatomy.
  • Intraoperative orientation and oncologic safety can be challenging.
  • Accurate specimen handling is crucial for pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a protocol for intraoperative navigation in head and neck tumor resection.
  • To enhance oncologic free margins and improve surgical orientation.
  • To aid pathologists in specimen orientation and analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot study involving 16 patients with head and neck tumors.
  • Comparison between a study group (CT computer-assisted navigation) and a control group (conventional surgery).
  • Analysis of operative times, planning, technology use, landmark adherence, specimen orientation, and tumor margin distance.

Main Results:

  • The study group showed reduced errors in specimen orientation.
  • Increased distance between the tumor and resection margins was observed in the study group.
  • Operative times were comparable between the study and control groups.

Conclusions:

  • Intraoperative navigation is a reliable method for improving oncologic safety in head and neck tumor surgery.
  • The technology facilitates better orientation and wider resection margins.
  • This pilot study suggests benefits for selected patients.
