We experienced failed airway management in a patient who had partial mandibulectomy and reconstruction with free-flap. 40 year-old man (height: 164 cm, body weight: 59 kg) with malignant melanoma on #38 tooth area of mandibular body was scheduled for partial mandibulectomy and reconstruction with free flap. Approximately fifteen-hours after surgery, the patient was extubated without complication. Seven hours after extubation, we experienced respiratory failure andfailed airway managementdue to airway edema and neck. We failed orotracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy andlaryngeal mask airway, thus we tried tracheostomy but the patient was hypoxic state for more than 30 minutes. The patient had got hypoxic brain damage in whole cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. We should have the policy of airway management of the patients who have massive oro-maxillo-facial surgery and all medical personnel who treat these patients should be educated the policy and airway management methods.

Bisphosphonate is used widely for osteoporosis treatment, but a rising concern is the risk of osteonecrosis after long-term bisphosphonate use. Such cases are increasing, suggesting a need for research to prevent and treat bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaws. A 63-year-old female took bisphosphonate (Fosamax$^{(R)}$) for four years for treatment of osteoporosis and stopped medication two months ago because of unhealed wound. She was treated with marginal mandibulectomy maintaining the inferior border, and a metal plate was placed to prevent mandible fracture. Four months after the mandibulectomy, mandible reconstruction surgery using iliac bone and allograft was done. Six months after reconstruction, implant placement and treatment with an overdenture was done without complications. This study presents a case with a successful result.

Functional and esthetic reconstruction after segmental mandibulectomy is one of the most challenging surgeries in microsurgical reconstruction field. Simulation surgery before free flap reconstruction has been performed for efficient surgery and successful results. Fibula free flap is the flap of the choice for reconstruction of the segmental mandibular defect. Straight nature of the fibula bone requires multiple segmentations to fit into mandible. 3D rapid prototype (RP) model gives a lot of information for mandibular reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to report mandibular reconstruction with free fibular flap using simulation surgery. A total of 30 consecutive patients were included for functional and esthetic evaluation. Among 30 patients, two flaps showed necrosis after radiotherapy. The other flaps were all survived and showed successful reconstruction in both function and esthetics.

Purpose: Tongue cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the oral cavity and the ultimate goal in treatment of the cancer is not only complete excision and meticulous closure of the wound, but also, reconstruction of a demensional and functional tongue. Our study focuses on various factors, such as defect size, extent of tumor, age, application of mandibulectomy or radiotherapy, and their influences on postoperative speech and swallowing function. Methods: Our study was based on 59 patients who underwent tongue cancer operation and reconstruction of the tongue. Speech and swallowing were evaluated according to categories documented by Sultan and Teichgraeber. Patients were classified into 3 groups as partial glossectomy, hemiglossectomy and total glossectomy groups for evaluation. The average age of the patients were 51, and the mean follow-up period was 4 years 2 months. Results: The partial glossectomy group showed statistically relevant results for speech articulation and swallowing abilities compared to the total glossectomy group. In cases of defects involving the mouth floor, the group showed decreased results compared to the group without mouth floor involvement. Increased age showed decreased postoperative results with statistical significance, while mandibulectomy and radiotherapy revealed no statistically significant data. Analysis according to TNM staging resulted in decreased functional result with advanced staging without statistical significance. Conclusion: To summarize the factors influencing the functional outcome in tongue reconstruction, younger patients and early stage cancer with minimal surgical extent revealed more satisfying results while mandibulectomy and radiation did not have influence on our analysis. Addition of various influencing factors and studies with longer follow up periods on our patient groups may provide effective data for more satisfying functional outcomes in the future.

Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is very rare type of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that occurs within the jaw and arises from remnants of odontogenic epithelium with no connection to the oral mucosa. This study reports two cases of PIOSCC of the mandible. Reported in this article are two cases of PIOSCC of the mandible that were treated with resection and reconstruction using a fibular free flap. The first case was a 36-year-old male patient who complained of right mandibular pain. Computed tomography (CT) and panoramic radiograph revealed a large radiolucency in the mandibular ramus area. At first, an odontogenic keratocyst was tentatively diagnosed, and an excision procedure was carried out at another clinic. A final biopsy after cyst enucleation revealed well-differentiated SCC, so we proceeded with segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction using a fibular free flap. The second case was a 48-year-old male patient with left mandibular pain. CT and panoramic radiograph revealed irregular radiolucency in the mandibular angle area near tooth #38. At first, osteomyelitis was tentatively diagnosed, and a curettage was carried out. A later biopsy revealed well-differentiated SCC, so segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction with a fibular free flap were secondarily performed. Our two cases have had no recurrence. The facial appearance of both patients is satisfactory, and the neo-mandibular body created using a fibular bone transfer displays adequate bony volume.

Background: Mandibular reconstruction is performed after segmental mandibulectomy, and precise repositioning of the condylar head in the temporomandibular fossa is essential for maintaining preoperative occlusion. Methods: In cases without involvement of soft tissue around the mandibular bone, the autopolymer resin in a soft state is pressed against the lower border of the mandible and buccal and lingual sides of the 3D model on the excised side. After hardening, it is shaved with a carbide bar to make the proximal and distal parts parallel to the resected surface in order to determine the direction of mandibular resection. On the other hand, in cases that require resection of soft tissue around the mandible such as cases of a malignant tumor, right and left mandibular rami of the 3D model are connected with the autopolymer resin to keep the preoperative position between proximal and distal segments before surgical simulation. The device is made to fit the lower border of the anterior mandible and the posterior border of the mandibular ramus. The device has a U-shaped handle so that adaptation of the device will not interfere with the soft tissue to be removed and has holes to be fixed on the mandible with screws. Results: We successfully performed the planned accurate segmental mandibulectomy and the precise repositioning of the condylar head by the device. Conclusions: The present technique and device that we developed proved to be simple and useful for restoring the preoperative condylar head positioning in the temporomandibular fossa and the precise resection of the mandible.

하악골의 결손은 선천적 기형, 외상, 골수염, 종양 절제술 등에 의하여 초래될 수 있는데, 이중 결손부위가 큰 경우는 주로 종양절제술에 의한 결손이다. 악골 결손 부위가 커질수록 저작, 연하, 교합, 발음 등에 큰 지장을 초래하게 되며 심미적으로도 불량하여 일상생활에 많은 불편을 주게 된다. 하악골이 절제된 후 그 자리에 완전히 재생되는 경우는 희박하며 인공적으로 재건해 주어야 한다 일반적으로 자가골 이식을 이용한 재건술을 시행하며, 통상적인 부분의치 혹은 총의치를 시행하거나, 지지할 수 있는 골을 얻은 상태에서 임플란트 고정성 보철, 임플란트 보조 국소의치 혹은 피개의치 등을 시행할 수 있다. 본 증례는 2004년 2월 25일, 편평세포암종 pT1N0M0, stage I로 진단 받고 구강악안면외과에서 동년 3월, 하악 좌측 부위 COMMANDO 수술(combined mandibulectomy and neck dissection operation), 광범위 절제술(wide excision), 하악골 변연절제술(marginal mandibulectomy), 견갑 설골 상부 경부청소술(supraomohyoid neck dissection, SOHND), 시행받은 환자를 하악 좌측 중절치, 하악 좌측 제3대구치 부위에 임플란트 식립하여 임플란트 보조 국소의치로 수복하였고 충분한 피개와 임플란트로의 적절한 교합력 분산을 통해 통상적인 국소의치보다 더 이로운 지지, 유지, 안정을 얻을 수 있었다. 현재까지 경과 관찰 기간은 4년 정도 되었으며, 하악 좌측 제3대구치 부위에는 주위골의 흡수양상이 관찰되어 주기적인 검진이 필요한 상황이다.

구강암에 의해 하악골 절제술을 받은 환자들은 저작 및 연하 기능의 저하와 같은 문제가 발생하며 동반된 안모의 변화와 발음의 문제로 인하여 사회적, 심리적인 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 보철적인 수복을 통해 하악골 변연절제술 환자의 문제를 개선해 나아가는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 증례는 편평세포암으로 인하여 하악골 변연절제술을 받은 환자에서 골결손이 일어나지 않은 후방부위에 전략적으로 임플란트를 식립하였고 임플란트를 통해 의치의 유지와 지지를 담당할 수 있도록 보철물을 설계하였다. 이를 바탕으로 Kennedy class IV 국소의치를 제작하여 만족스런 심미적, 기능적 결과를 얻었으며, 8개월 간의 임상 관찰 동안 임플란트 주변 골의 안정적인 유지가 관찰되는 바 이를 보고하고자 한다.
