title: [Intraoperative quality management modalities in head and neck surgery].
abstract: Immediate intraoperative control via suitable imaging techniques is necessary to achieve the best possible surgical outcome. Intraoperative imaging increases patient safety, offers the surgeon direct support in challenging anatomic regions, and affords the possibility of direct correction with a reduced rate of corrective surgery. The procedures are based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), endoscopy, or navigation-assisted surgery. This article describes available intraoperative quality management modalities for fracture management and tumor treatment in the field of head and neck surgery.
