🎈Jaw cancer reconstruction with an outstanding result!! Post-op photos will follow if the demand is shown. 🌟This is a unique case of a resected squamous cell carcinoma that has invaded invaded through the mandible and skin. 💥The picture shows a missing potion of the mandible following a segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction using a stainless steel titanium plate with 4 screws on either side of the mandibulectomy! 🎈Mandibulectomy is a procedure that is used to eradicate disease that involves the lower jaw or mandible. This procedure is used in various settings, including infectious etiologies (eg, osteomyelitis), osteoradionecrosis, or a benign (eg, ameloblastoma) or malignant neoplastic process (eg, invasive squamous cell carcinoma) that involves the jaw. 🌟Segmental mandibulectomy is indicated for the resection of tumors with gross bone invasion. The cancellous bone of the mandible offers no barrier to the progression of squamous cancer through the bone.
