The differences in intraoperative vascular anastomosis time, postoperative flap survival rate and doctor evaluation scores between the 3D microscope group and the optical microscope group were compared and statistically analyzed, and the feasibility of using three-dimensional microscope in surgery was evaluated.ResultsThe arterial anastomosis time was (26.53±3.83) min/root in the 3D microscope group and (24.88 ± 2.97) min/root in the optical microscope group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The venous anastomosis time was (30.68 ± 3.51) min/root in the three-dimensional microscope group and (28.70 ± 2.91) min/root in the optical microscope group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the survival rate of flaps between the 3D microscope group (n = 28, 93.33%) and the optical microscope group (n = 53, 92.98%) (P>0.05). The doctor's evaluation scores of visual fatigue, training and learning, operative difficulty index, image sharing in the three-dimensional microscope group were higher than those in the optical microscope group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion3D microscope has good reliability and safety in surgery, a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and the convenience of teaching and training. It can be well applied to vascular anastomosis in oral and maxillofacial surgery. UR - https://doi.org/10.12016/j.issn.2096-1456.2023.06.005 DO - 10.12016/j.issn.2096-1456.2023.06.005
