For posterior oral cavity cancer, partial mandibulectomy with primary closure offers satisfactory functional and cosmetic results, avoiding complex reconstruction. This approach simplifies treatment for oral cancer patients.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Surgical Oncology
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

Composite resection is standard for posterior oral cavity carcinoma.
Mandibular reconstruction following resection presents significant challenges with unpredictable outcomes.
Previous methods like grafts and osteotomies have yielded unsatisfactory results.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of different mandibular management strategies in composite resections for oral cavity cancer.
To identify optimal surgical techniques for functional and cosmetic restoration.
To present a review of surgical details, complications, and outcomes.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 78 composite resections for posterior oral cavity carcinoma.

Analysis of cases involving primary lateral mandibulectomy with and without reconstruction.

Evaluation of outcomes for various reconstructive techniques, including bone grafts and osteotomies.

Main Results:

61 of 78 patients underwent primary lateral mandibulectomy without reconstruction.
Mandibular reconstruction in other cases was largely unsatisfactory.
Mandibular osteotomy in irradiated tissue was unsuccessful in all attempts.
Partial mandibulectomy with primary closure yielded satisfactory functional and cosmetic results.

Conclusions:

Primary closure after partial mandibulectomy is a viable and effective approach for posterior oral cavity cancer.
Complex mandibular reconstruction can often be avoided, simplifying treatment and improving outcomes.
This technique offers a favorable balance of functional and cosmetic results for patients.
