  • Title: Modified trans-oral approach for mandibular condylectomy.
    Author: Deng M, Long X, Cheng AH, Cheng Y, Cai H.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2009 Apr; 38(4):374-7. PubMed ID: 19282151.
    Abstract:
    Different approaches to the mandibular condyle have been described. In this paper, a modified trans-oral technique to access the mandibular condyle is described and illustrated. This technique was used in a small group of patients; the clinical outcomes are promising. The technique can be used in various temporomandibular joint (TMJ) operations, such as condylar resection, high condylectomy or tumor removal. It provides adequate intra-oral surgical access to the mandibular condyle and avoids complications from extra-oral approaches to the TMJ.
