Description
Summary:•Evaluation methodologies in CAS mandibular reconstruction are heterogeneous.•This limits the ability to compare postoperative outcomes between studies.•A practical guideline for standardizing the evaluation process is proposed. Comparing accuracy results for mandibular reconstructions using computer-assisted surgery (CAS) is limited due to heterogeneity in image acquisition, extent of mandibular resection, and evaluation methodologies between studies. We propose a practical, feasible and reproducible guideline for standardizing evaluation methods to allow valid comparisons of postoperative results and facilitate meta-analyses in the future. It offers a guide to imaging, data comparison, volume assessment of 3-dimensional models, classification of defects, and it also contains a quantitative accuracy evaluation method.
