Segmental mandibulectomy causes severe functional disability and cosmetic problem. Many methods of reconstruction have been used but none of these procedures provides the ideal solution. There has been increased interest in the possibility of preserving a portion of the mandible and still carrying out a adequate tumor resection. We experienced four cases of marginal with sagittal mandibulectomy in patients with floor of mouth. buccal. and soft palate carcinoma, and sagittal mandibulectomy in 8 patients with tonsillar carcinoma and a case of marginal mandibulectomy in tonsillar cancer patient. In all cases mandible facing the tumor were successfully resected and repair of the mandible. postoperative facial contour were satisfactory. We think. that these sagittal procedures are oncologically sound in its removal of tumor. biomechanically secure and maximize postoperative rehabilitation while maintaining the normal contour of the face.

The segmental mandibulectomy should be performed, if mandiblie invasion is suspected clinically and radiologically. And if tumor is located to mandible very closely or when microinvasion to mandible is suspected, marginal mandibulectomy is recommended. But in segmental mandibulectomy, reconstruction is difficult and cosmetic problem remains. In this case, we performed modified segmental resection of mandible, preserving the inferior margin of mandible, and maintains the continuity of the bone, in mucoepidermoid carcinoma of parapharynx, invading mandible. We reviewed the diagnosis, pathology, and treatment, and report the case with reviews of literature.

Preoperative patient analysis for oral cancer involves multiple considerations that are based on multiple factors; these include TNM stages, histopathologic findings, and adjacent anatomical structures. Once the decision is made to excise the lesion, the margin of dissection and its extent should be considered along with the best form of reconstruction and airway management. Treatment methods include surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Although the combined method of treatment is controversial, surgical resection is considered predominantly, and immediate reconstruction after surgical resection follows. The choice of treatment is dictated by the anticipated functional and esthetic results of treatment and also by the availability of a surgeon with the required expertise. Segmental mandibulectomy with primary reconstruction has been shown to have advantages in both functional and esthetic results. A 52-year-old male patient with basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth, and the anterior portion of the mandible was treated with surgical procedures that included segmental mandibulectomy with both supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND) at Levels I-III and mandible reconstruction with a left fibula free flap. A 55-year-old male patient with clear cell odontogenic carcinoma of the oral cavity underwent segmental mandibulectomy with both SOHND at Levels I-III and mandible reconstruction with a left fibula free flap. The purpose of this study was to review the anatomic and functional results of patients after immediate reconstruction with a fibula free flap following resection of carcinoma in the anterior portion of the mandible and floor of the mouth.

Recently, computer-assisted surgery is popular for performing well-planned operations. Computer-aided navigation system is helpful in maxillofacial surgery with real time instrument positioning and clear anatomic identification. Generally, segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction flap surgery have done by extra-oral approach such as, submandibular approach. This case report describes performing intra-oral segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction with monocortical deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap and CT guided implant surgery by using computer-aided surgical guide and navigation for managing ameloblastoma in a 31 years old female patient.

Surgical resection of the mandible due to presence of benign or malignant tumor is the most common cause of the mandibular deviation. Depending upon the location and extent of the tumor in the mandible, various surgical treatment modalities like marginal, segmental, hemi, subtotal, or total mandibulectomy can be performed. The clinicians must wait for extensive period of time for completion of healing and acceptance of the osseous graft before considering the definitive prosthesis. During this initial healing period prosthodontic intervention is required for preventing the mandibular deviation. This case report describes early prosthodontic management of a patient who has undergone a reconstructed hemi-mandibulectomy with modified mandibular guide flange prosthesis. The prosthesis helps patient moving the mandible normally without deviation during functions like speech and mastication.

구강암에 대한 외과적 처치로 구강 내 광범위한 경조직, 연조직을 제거한 환자는 저작, 연하, 발음 등의 기능적 문제와 치열, 안모의 심미적 문제를 갖게 된다. 악골 재건 후에도 치조골 등 합병증으로 인해 가철성 보철물의 유지 및 지지를 받는데 제한적이다. 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철물은 이러한 환자들에게 적절한 보철수복 방법이 되어 왔다. 본 증례는 하악 재건 후 computer-aided design과 computer-aided manufacturing을 이용하여 지르코니아 프레임워크 상부에 단일 구조 지르코니아 크라운을 제작하여 현재 치열의 기능적, 심미적 회복을 하여 이에 보고하고자 한다.

Purpose: Ameloblastomas are rare benign tumors of odontogenic origin, and compose about 1% of all oral and maxillomandibular cysts and tumors. Because this neoplasm has a high rate of local recurrence, segmental mandibulectomy with a 1~2 cm safety margin and immediate microsurgical reconstruction is an accepted treatment modality. The authors experienced four mandibular reconstruction cases that underwent secondary dental implantation. Here, the authors describe these cases and their long-term results. Methods: Four patients with ameloblastoma of the mandible underwent segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction with a free fibula osseous flap from January 1999 to May 2005, followed by secondary dental implantation. Recurrence, bony union, implant osseointegration, and functional and aesthetic results were evaluated by radiologic imaging, by physical examination, and by using photographs. Results: All free flaps survived with no evidence of flap loss. To date, no recurrence has been noted clinically or radiologically. Imaging after mandibular reconstruction with a free fibular flap revealed satisfactory bony unions and mandibular contours. The patients achieved good aesthetic and functional results after the secondary implantation. Conclusion: Mandibular reconstruction using a fibular osseous flap and secondary dental implantation can produce good functional and aesthetic results after segmental mandibulectomy for ameloblastoma.

구강암 등의 병소로 인해 하악골의 절제를 시행한 환자는 구강악안면계의 재건을 통한 기능적, 심미적 회복이 중요하다. 하악골의 재건에 많이 사용되는 비골유리피판은 임플란트 식립을 동반한 보철적 수복에 있어 용이하다. 그러나 성장기 환자는 비골의 크기가 작고 잔여 성장이 남아있을 수 있어 임플란트를 이용한 치료 시 어려움이 존재한다. 본 증례는 골육종으로 하악골 절제술 및 비골유리피판을 이용해 하악골의 재건을 시행한 11세 여성 환자로, 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철물을 이용한 보철적 수복을 통해 기능적, 심미적 회복을 도모하였다. 임플란트의 식립 부위 및 개수, 보철물의 형태적 고려를 하였으며, 성장기인 13세에 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철 수복을 완료하였고, 추가로 1년간의 경과 관찰을 시행한 바 안정적인 결과를 얻었기에 보고하고자 한다. 그러나, 이후의 추가적인 검진을 통해 악안면계의 변화를 관찰하는 것이 필요하겠다.

Objectives: Visor flap is one of the useful surgical approach to the oral cavity cancer, but the report on its specific indications, advantages and disadvantages is lacking. Material and Methods: Seven patients treated with visor flap for oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer were reviewed. Result: Visor flap provided excellent visual field to anterior oral cavity without splitting the lip and chin skin. Postoperative cosmesis was satisfactory. One complication associating with this flap was salivary leak through gingivo-labial and gingivo-buccal suture which was successfully repaired. Conclusion: Visor flap is an excellent approach on extirpation of the oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer in case of combining with segmental mandibulectomy. Especially it was useful for the approach to the anterior floor of the mouth and oral tongue lesion. But, it has no actual advantage over the other approaches in cases without mandibulectomy.
