| Abstract Scope |
Canine caudal maxillectomy is a surgical procedure commonly performed on dogs to remove cancerous tumors in the caudal portion of the maxilla. However, the procedure is associated with significant risks such as major hemorrhage and high recurrence rates due to incomplete resection of the cancerous bone. To address these issues, cutting guides were designed and printed in resin using SLA and surgery was performed by three groups: an experienced surgeon (SG), a novice surgical resident (NG), and a surgeon performing a freehand procedure (SF). Each group performed five cuts on cadaveric heads, and the accuracy of the cuts was evaluated. The highest absolute mean linear deviation recorded in SF, NG, and SG groups were 5.46±4.28 mm, 3.19±1.64 mm, and 1.98±0.81 mm, respectively, and occurred at the orbit osteotomy. However, the procedure duration was found to be significantly longer for guided surgery (p < 0.001). |
