Summary

This study introduces buccal cortical plate excision as a novel mandibular preservation technique for buccal gingival sulcus cancers. This approach avoids the disfigurement and functional issues associated with traditional segmental mandibulectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Oral oncology
  • Surgical oncology
  • Maxillofacial surgery

Background:

  • Buccal gingival sulcus cancers are anatomically close to the mandible.
  • These tumors typically invade mandibular bone late in their progression.
  • Current treatment, segmental mandibulectomy, causes significant cosmetic and functional deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for buccal gingival sulcus cancers.
  • To describe mandibular preservation as an alternative to segmental mandibulectomy.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of buccal cortical plate excision for these tumors.

Main Methods:

  • The study describes a surgical approach involving buccal cortical plate excision.
  • This technique aims to preserve the mandible while achieving tumor resection.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Details of the procedure are presented for the first time.

    • Main Results:

    • Buccal cortical plate excision offers a mandibular preservation alternative.
    • This method potentially reduces cosmetic disfigurement and functional impairment.
    • The study highlights a new surgical option for specific oral cancers.

    Conclusions:

    • Buccal cortical plate excision is a viable alternative for select buccal gingival sulcus cancers.
    • This technique preserves mandibular integrity, improving patient outcomes.
    • Further research should explore the oncological safety and long-term efficacy of this approach.
