Revisiting the sub-mandibular approach with a modified incision
Angle of mandible has been long plagued throughout the history for being one of the most common places of facial bone fracture and also related complications if not treated properly. Hereby, two cases of fracture of angle of mandible those were surgically treated with an aim to modify existing extra...

description | Angle of mandible has been long plagued throughout the history for being one of the most common places of facial bone fracture and also related complications if not treated properly. Hereby, two cases of fracture of angle of mandible those were surgically treated with an aim to modify existing extra-oral approaches specifically for treating the mandibular angle fractures for the purpose of open reduction and internal fixation so as to have a good access combined with an aesthetic and inconspicuous scar postoperatively are described. Also, an attempt is made to add one more type of incision to many existing ones so that future surgeons can choose over which best suits their procedure and as an addition to the ever-increasing literature. There is no doubt that meticulous surgical procedure and experience is needed to identify the structures, to stay in the plane of desire and work in comparatively bloodless field. Hence this approach can be bit challenging for newer surgeons. Nonetheless, the result after the closure of the field is quite rewarding. |
