    Area of Science:

    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

    Background:

    • Median labiomandibular glossotomy is a surgical approach for tumors in the base of the tongue, epiglottis, and pharyngeal wall.
    • The technique has been extended for access to the clivus, upper cervical vertebrae, and cervicomedullary junction.
    • Previous adaptations sometimes recommended removing healthy mandibular incisor teeth.

    Observation:

    • This report details a case utilizing median labiomandibular glossotomy.
    • The surgical procedure aimed to access deep head and neck structures.
    • A key consideration was the preservation of dentition and occlusion.

    Findings:

    • The median labiomandibular glossotomy was successfully performed.
    • Healthy teeth were preserved throughout the procedure.
    • Functional occlusion was maintained post-surgery.

    Implications:

    • This modified technique offers a viable alternative for complex head and neck tumor resections.
    • It avoids the morbidity associated with routine tooth extraction.
    • Preserving teeth and occlusion enhances patient quality of life and functional outcomes.
