Abstract:The transoral approach to resecting oral and oropharyngeal tumors is associated with lower morbidity than open surgery, but is associated with a high positive margin rate. When margins are positive, it is critical that resection specimens be accurately oriented in anatomical context for gross and microscopic evaluation, and also that surgeons, pathologists, and other care team members share an accurate spatial awareness of margin locations. With clinical interest in digital pathology on the rise, this work out… Show more
