A multi-centre, participant-blinded, randomized, 3-year study to compare the efficacy of Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) to Freehand Surgery (FHS) on bony union and quality of life outcomes for mandibular reconstruction with fibular and scapular free flaps: study protocol for a randomized phase II/III trial Open
Background Advanced head and neck malignancies with underlying bony involvement often require aggressive oncological resection of large segments of the oral cavity including the mandible. These patients require vascularized donor osseous f…

Scapula or Fibula?: Prospective data-driven decision criteria for flap selection in mandibular reconstruction planning Open
The criteria proposed comprises of measurable and clinically important metrics that can serve as a useful tool for reconstructive surgeons in selecting the optimal flap for mandibular reconstruction.

Evaluating the benefit of virtual surgical planning on bony union rates in head and neck reconstructive surgery Open
Objectives Virtual surgical planning (VSP) has gained acceptance because of its benefits in obtaining adequate resection, achieving cephalometric accuracy, and reducing operative time. The aim of this study is to compare the rate of union …

Incidence and complications of hypothyroidism postlaryngectomy: A systematic review and <span>meta‐analysis</span> Open
Background Hypothyroidism is common postlaryngectomy and is associated with laryngectomy‐specific complications. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence and predictors of hypothyroidism postlaryngectomy and its associated…

Towards Transcervical Ultrasound Image Guidance for Transoral Robotic Surgery Open
Purpose: Trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS) using the da Vinci surgical robot is a new minimally-invasive surgery method to treat oropharyngeal tumors, but it is a challenging operation. Augmented reality (AR) based on intra-operative ultra…
