The impact of lip-split mandibulotomy on patients treated for pT2 oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma: a study of 224 patients

ConclusionsDefects after excision of larger and more posterior tumours that are going to be reconstructed with free flaps represent a more probable indication for using an osteotomy access technique. Lip-split mandibulotomy is a low-morbidity technique which can deliver a sound oncological outcome and can be relatively easily taught to less experienced surgeons.
