    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Otorhinolaryngology

    Background:

    • Large oropharyngeal tumors with soft and hard palate extension pose significant surgical challenges.
    • Standard neck dissections may be insufficient for achieving adequate margins in these extensive cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an extended jaw and neck dissection technique for managing large oropharyngeal tumors.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and oncologic control offered by this modified surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A midline lip split and large cervicofacial flap were utilized for optimal surgical exposure.
    • The resection encompassed the primary tumor, infratemporal fossa lymphatics, hemimandible, and associated soft tissues.
    • En bloc resection included structures medial to the internal carotid artery, extending to the skull base.

    Main Results:

    • The technique allows for resection of tumors with extension to the soft and hard palate.
    • Adequate margins and lymphatic control were achieved in extensive oropharyngeal lesions.
    • Reconstruction was successfully performed using a pectoralis myocutaneous flap.

    Conclusions:

    • This extended jaw and neck dissection provides a viable surgical option for large oropharyngeal tumors with palatal involvement.
    • The described method facilitates complete tumor resection and reconstruction, crucial for oncologic control.
