Mixed reality guidance for oral cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using mixed reality technology during surgery helps doctors remove oral cancer more precisely and rebuild the area better. You may be asked to join if you are having surgery to remove oral cancer and rebuild the affected area with your own tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of oral cancer (cancer in the mouth).
- The area removed during surgery can be rebuilt using tissue taken from another part of your body (called a free flap).
- You are healthy enough to safely undergo surgery.
- You sign a consent form and agree to attend follow-up visits after the procedure.

This study helps teams plan surgery for people who need part of the lower jaw removed and rebuilt using special tissue flaps. It mainly looks at whether having specific pre-surgery CT images is possible and useful for reconstruction planning.
This study tests a mobile app that guides you through swallowing exercises after oral cancer surgery. The goal is to help you recover your ability to swallow more easily after your operation.
This trial tests whether surgeons can use ultrasound during surgery to better guide the removal of oral cancer. It may help ensure all cancer is removed while sparing healthy tissue.
This study tests whether a virtual reality (3D computer) model of surgery can help surgeons improve how head and neck cancer operations are planned and done. You may benefit from more personalized surgical planning, if you’re eligible for standard surgery.
This trial tests whether using a special 3D mixed-reality viewer during planning for brain surgery helps doctors better prepare. If you are having a planned brain tumor removal, this technology may make the surgery safer and more precise.
This trial studies using a robot-assisted operation through the mouth to diagnose or treat certain non-cancer (benign) and cancer (malignant) tumors in the head and neck. It may help some people avoid more invasive surgery by using an approach that reaches the throat and voice box area through the mouth.
