Smaller safe surgical margin for resecting mandibular ameloblastomas in digitally assisted surgery

Digital surgical guidance achieves millimeter-level precision in resecting mandibular ameloblastomas. Even with a planned 6-mm bone margin, a 4.0% positive margin risk remains; however, this distance can be considered a practical minimum benchmark for balancing oncological radicality and functional preservation.

Abstract

Digital surgical guidance achieves millimeter-level precision in resecting mandibular ameloblastomas. Even with a planned 6-mm bone margin, a 4.0% positive margin risk remains; however, this distance can be considered a practical minimum benchmark for balancing oncological radicality and functional preservation.
