Lower jaw resection

Doctors can perform these types of surgeries:

• marginal resection is an organ-preserving variant of the operation, in which the continuity of the bone is not disrupted;
• segmental resection - removal of a bone fragment, after which the reconstruction of the lower jaw with a skin-musculoskeletal flap is required;
• resection of the angles of the lower jaw - an operation to correct and harmonize facial features;
• removal of the mandibular cortex - a technique of visual narrowing of the wide jaw.

Medical indications for resection include cancer of the mandible, large benign tumors, and fracture injuries. Recently, aesthetic surgery is gaining popularity, when, with the help of resection, doctors correct the features of the appearance and create a harmonious oval of the face.

Standard contraindications for surgery:

• fever, acute infectious diseases;
• decompensation of chronic somatic diseases;
• violation of blood clotting;
• acute psychoses.

Healing of tissues after resection of the lower jaw takes from 2-3 weeks to several months, which is determined by the volume of the operation. If necessary, the second stage is reconstruction, installation of dentures.
