Rostral mandibulectomy effectively treats mandibular tumors in horses. This surgical technique preserved mandibular stability, yielding good cosmetic and functional outcomes without complications or recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Equine Oncology
  • Oral Pathology

Background:

  • Mandibular tumors in horses can cause significant morbidity.
  • Surgical intervention is often necessary for effective treatment.
  • Tumors of the rostral mandible present unique surgical challenges.

Observation:

  • Five horses with rapidly growing or bleeding mandibular tumors underwent rostral mandibulectomy.
  • The surgical technique preserved the caudal portion of the mandibular symphysis for stability.
  • Histopathologic examination confirmed ossifying fibroma in all cases.

Findings:

  • The procedure resulted in no surgical complications or tumor recurrences.
  • Excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes were achieved post-surgery.

  • Rostral mandibulectomy proved to be a simple and effective treatment.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable surgical option for rostral mandibular tumors in horses.
    • Preservation of mandibular symphysis contributes to favorable functional results.
    • Further studies could explore long-term outcomes and applicability to other mandibular pathologies.
