Intraoperative Techniques That Define the Mucosal Margins of Oral Cancer In-Vivo: A Systematic Review.

Background: This systematic review investigates techniques for determining adequate mucosal margins during the resection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The primary treatment involves surgical removal with ≥5 mm margins, highlighting the importance of accurate differentiation between SCC and dysplasia during surgery.

Methods: A comprehensive Embase and PubMed literature search was performed.

Treatment of buccal mucosal carcinomas: A survey amongst head and neck surgeons in the Netherlands.

Objective: Currently, there is no up-to-date guideline for the treatment of buccal mucosal squamous cell carcinoma (BMSCC) in the Netherlands. A questionnaire was used to investigate the opinions of Dutch head and neck surgeons on BMSCC of the cheek treatment.

Methods: A questionnaire was sent to all 91 head and neck surgeons in the Netherlands.

A closer look at the resection margins of buccal mucosa cancer: Their influence on local recurrence free survival.

Background: The adequate surgical margin for local control of buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma (BMSCC) is under debate. This study investigates surgical margins and other factors associated with local recurrence free survival (LRFS) in a large cohort of BMSCC patients.

Methods: Multiple factors were evaluated retrospectively in 97 patients with BMSCC.

Ultrasound-guided resection for squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa: A feasibility study.

Background: Image-guided surgery could help obtain clear (≥5.0 mm) resection margins. This feasibility study investigated ultrasound-guided resection accuracy of buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma (BMSCC).

Mesenteric occlusive disease of the inferior mesenteric artery is associated with anastomotic leak after left-sided colon and rectal cancer surgery: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Anastomotic leak (AL) is a serious complication following colorectal surgery. Atherosclerosis causes inadequate anastomotic perfusion and is suggested to be a risk factor for AL. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of mesenteric occlusive disease on preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan with AL after left-sided colon or rectal cancer surgery.
