A modified straight midline mandibulotomy approach offers a simple and safe surgical option for oral and oropharyngeal tumors. This technique minimizes complications and postoperative morbidity in cancer patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Traditional mandibulotomy approaches can be complex and associated with significant morbidity.
  • There is a need for simplified surgical techniques for oral and oropharyngeal tumor resection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the experience with a simplified, modified straight midline mandibulotomy.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this modified approach for malignancies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 17 consecutive patients.
  • Analysis of outcomes following the modified mandibulotomy approach over a 3-year period.

Main Results:

  • The modified straight midline mandibulotomy resulted in no bony nonunion.
