    The Morris splint, a biphase external skeletal-fixation device, offers practical mandibular stabilization for ablative surgery patients. This adaptable tool facilitates reconstruction and simplifies post-operative care, making it valuable for head and neck cancer surgeons.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Head and Neck Cancer Surgery
    • Surgical Stabilization Techniques

    Background:

    • The Morris splint (biphase external skeletal-fixation splint) is a tool for mandibular stabilization.
    • Its application in ablative surgery, with or without reconstruction, is explored.
    • Limited use by head and neck cancer surgeons is noted, potentially due to its historical application in fracture treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a practical approach for using the Morris biphase splint in head and neck cancer surgery.
    • To outline the indications for its application in this specific surgical context.
    • To share the authors' experience and results with this stabilization method.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of the Morris biphase splint for mandibular stabilization during and after ablative surgery.

  • Demonstration of its utility in patients undergoing immediate or delayed reconstruction.
  • Highlighting the splint's compatibility with prolonged use and ease of surgical access.

    • Main Results:

    • The Morris splint can be applied without increasing major resection time.
    • It allows for prolonged placement, facilitating surgical access and postoperative care.
    • The study presents the authors' experience and results with this technique.

    Conclusions:

    • The Morris biphase splint is a practical and effective tool for mandibular stabilization in head and neck cancer surgery.
    • Its ease of application, adaptability for reconstruction, and simplified postoperative management make it a valuable option.
    • The authors advocate for increased consideration and use of the Morris splint by head and neck cancer surgeons.
