    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Context:

    • Glossectomy is a surgical procedure to reduce tongue size.
    • Understanding different glossectomy types is crucial for surgical planning.

    Purpose:

    • To outline and differentiate the four primary types of glossectomy.
    • To provide a classification of glossectomy techniques based on anatomical resection.

    Summary:

    • Median anterior glossectomy, including the classical median lozenge technique.
    • Central glossectomy involves resection without involving the tongue's periphery.
    • Marginal glossectomy can be segmental or encompass the entire tongue perimeter.

    Impact:

    • Clarifies the classification of glossectomy procedures.
    • Aids in precise surgical terminology and technique selection.
    • Facilitates communication among surgical teams regarding tongue reduction surgeries.
