Abstract

Systemic approach to reduce mandible complication in oral cancer surgery

Ching-Chih Lee

The incidence of oral cancer has increased remarkably for these recent years. The cornerstone of treatment for oral cancer is wide resection of primary tumor, adequate neck dissection with or without adjuvant therapy. When performing radical resection of tumor, lip- splitting procedure, mandibulotomy or mandibulectomy (segmental or marginal) are commonly used.
