Abstract
We have reviewed our experience with 120 selected patients who had pharyngeal tumors resected through a median mandibulotomy approach with paralingual extension (mandibular swing). Clinical findings, technique, and complications are discussed. Results were gratifying in terms of salvage, patient appearance, and function. We believe that this surgical approach, in combination with postoperative radiotherapy when appropriate, offers an attractive alternative to high dose radiotherapy alone in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma.
