The Authors report a technique of a conservative transmandibular approach for the surgical treatment of tonsillar region malignancies. The procedure is based upon the preparation of a vascular mandibular flap through two osteotomies, which are performed, the first above the mandibular foramen and the second below the mental foramen. The main advantages of present technique are: lip-chin-splitting is avoided and, due to the preservation of mandibular vascular and nervous supply, it is possible to accomplish, without risk, postoperative radiotherapy. Moreover, if dictated by oncologic reasons, this conservative procedure may easily be transformed into a radical surgery (commando or neck-jaw operation).

Abstract

The Authors report a technique of a conservative transmandibular approach for the surgical treatment of tonsillar region malignancies. The procedure is based upon the preparation of a vascular mandibular flap through two osteotomies, which are performed, the first above the mandibular foramen and the second below the mental foramen. The main advantages of present technique are: lip-chin-splitting is avoided and, due to the preservation of mandibular vascular and nervous supply, it is possible to accomplish, without risk, postoperative radiotherapy. Moreover, if dictated by oncologic reasons, this conservative procedure may easily be transformed into a radical surgery (commando or neck-jaw operation).
