According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 52 cases were included, including 25 cases using digital surgery (DS) and 27 cases using the conventional surgery (CS). The clinical-pathological characteristics, postoperative complications, functional aesthetic evaluation indexes, and time-cost-satisfaction evaluation indexes between the two groups were compared and statistically analyzed. Typical cases using digital surgery were shared.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Outcomes between the two groups were comparable, and there was no significant difference in survival outcome and follow-up time between the two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the defect size, pathological type, other major clinicopathological features, or operation-related indicators (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). The incidence of titanium plate displacement, deformation or exposure, and facial scar deformity in the DS group was significantly lower than that in the CS group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in other short-term or long-term complications (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). The incidence of dysphagia and eating disorders in the DS group was significantly reduced (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The speech and social functions were improved, but not significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the evaluation index of facial aesthetics in this study (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). Furthermore, the total operation time, preparation time of bone flap from the donor site, osteotomy time, and reconstruction time in the DS group were significantly lower than those in the traditional operation group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05), but the shaping time and vascular anastomosis time of recipient area could not be shortened (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in total hospitalization days between the DS group and CS group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05), but the time of ICU treatment and postoperative intravenous nutrition support in the DS group were shorter than those in the CS group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). In particular, the preoperative doctor-patient communication of the DS group was more effective, and the treatment satisfaction of patients including their families was higher after operation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Comprehensive application of digital surgical technology (CAD, CAM, VR, MA, etc.) in the reconstruction of the head and neck after tumor resection is feasible in clinical practice, which can not only improve the accuracy of repair, decrease some surgical complications, better preserve and improve patient\u2019s diet and speech function, and reduce the operation and hospitalization time, but also increase the treatment cost. Furthermore, it is conducive to doctor-patient communication and improves patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12957-022-02677-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,30]],"date-time":"2022-06-30T11:02:57Z","timestamp":1656586977000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Digital surgery group versus traditional experience group in head and neck reconstruction: a retrospective controlled study to analyze clinical value and time-economic-social effect"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Ronghao","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuqiu","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michelle Z.","family":"Malouta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongcong","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunyan","family":"Shui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingqiang","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"2677_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1406","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2016.06.022","volume":"45","author":"X Yuan","year":"2016","unstructured":"Yuan X, Xuan M, Tian W, et al.
