Abstract

Describe recent experience with a simplified modification of the traditional mandibulotomy approach. Retrospective chart review. Charts were reviewed retrospectively for 17 consecutive patients who underwent this approach over a 3-year period as a part of treatment for oral and oropharyngeal malignancies. No cases of bony nonunion, plate exposure, or other complications related to the mandibulotomy occurred in the postoperative phase. The modified straight midline mandibulotomy approach is simple and provides safe access for the treatment of oral and oropharyngeal tumors while minimizing postoperative morbidity.
