  • Title: Lateral mandibulectomy and partial glossectomy with plate application.
    Author: Ghali GE, Sikes JW.
    Journal: Atlas Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am; 1997 Sep; 5(2):1-14. PubMed ID: 11905312.
    Abstract:
    The goals of composite resection with reconstruction plate application include removal of the primary tumor, any compromised portions of the mandible, and any involved lymph-bearing tissue. Recent advances in surgical technique and reconstruction have made this treatment a more appealing choice for patients. Although microvascular free flaps may be the treatment of choice in the younger patient with an excellent prognosis, the use of reconstruction plates with a myocutaneous flap remains a viable alternative for many patients with oral cancer. Regardless of the reconstructive technique utilized, both functional and aesthetic parameters must be addressed in treatment planning for patients with head and neck cancer.
