Where should bone be cut in relation to teeth? and how far from tumours?
Between teeth roots.
1cm from tumours.
What teeth are involved with Rostral mandibulectomy?
Excision of bone including some or all incisors and one or more canine teeth.
Define Central mandibulectomy
Removal of a segment of one mandibular body.
Define Caudal mandibulectomy
Removal of all or a portion of ramus.
Define Total hemimandibulectomy
Removal form the symphysis including all of one body and the ramus.
Define three quarter mandibulectomy
Removal of one hemimandible and the rostral portion of the other hemimandible.
Define Pre-maxillectomy
Removal of the bone surrounding the incisors (may include the nasal planum).
Define Rostral hemimaxillectomy
Removal of the bone surrounding the canines and incisors.
Define Central hemimaxillectomy
Removal of the bone surrounding the pre-molars.
Define Caudal hemimaxillectomy
Removal of the bone surrounding the molars. This may include the zygomatic arch and the bone of the ventral orbit.
