31
Q

What artery is ligated/cauterised?

A

Inferior alveolar a.

34
Q

Rostral and central mandibulectomy;
How to split the symphysis

A

Osteotome

35
Q

How to close Rostral and central mandibulectomy? Including skin

A

Closure is achieved by suturing labial mucosa to the gingival and sublingual mucosa.
Following rostral mandibulectomy, the skin can be sutured directly to the sublingual mucosa.

36
Q

Caudal mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy
How to position

A

Lateral

37
Q

Caudal mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy
What incision may help improve exposure?

A

A full-thickness incision in the cheek from the commissure to the level of the caudal border of the ramus may help improve exposure.

38
Q

Caudal mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy
What removal facilitates visualisation of the dorsal ramus and TMJ and is necessary if it is involved in the pathology.

A

Zygomatic arch

39
Q

How to replace zygomatic arch in Caudal mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy? Is this needed?

A

Stabilisation with orthopaedic wire

Not necc; more for post op cosmesis

40
Q

Caudal mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy;
Soft tissues are transected at least 1 cm from the edges of the tumour. What muscles (4) and capsule (1) does this include?

A

masseter, digastricus, temporalis and pterygoid muscles and the TMJ capsule.

41
Q

Caudal mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy;
What vessel is ligated and where?

A

The inferior alveolar artery is ligated and transected at the mandibular foramen.

42
Q

Caudal mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy;
Mucosa closure?

A

For closure, the labial mucosa is sutured to the gingival and sublingual mucosa.

43
Q

Caudal mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy;
How to suture to prevent the tongue hanging out the mouth?

A

The commissure of the lip can be advanced to the level of PM1 or 2

44
Q

When is Mandibular rim excision appropriate?

A

For tumours that do not invade the ventral cortical bone and that lie next to the pre-molars or molars

45
Q

Rostral and central maxillectomy
How to position?

A

Oblique lateral

46
Q

Rostral and central maxillectomy;
What 3 structures need to be incised at the site of transection?

A

Labial mucosa
Gingiva
Palate

47
Q

Does the major palate a. and infraorbtal a. need to be ligated in a central or rostral maxillectomy?

A

Central

48
Q

Rostral and central maxillectomy
What is used for bone resection; why this?

A
