Oral cancer surgery

Meer over het boek

Operative treatment for oral cancer presents significant challenges due to the unique anatomy of the perioral region, which includes muscle, bone, cartilage, skin, and mucosa. This complexity makes both ablative tumor surgery and reconstructive surgery particularly intricate. Surgeons must master soft tissue handling, microvascular techniques, and bone treatment, while also developing strategies to anticipate surgical complications. Given the vast array of procedures available, students and young surgeons often struggle to navigate this "operative jungle." This book focuses on essential procedures that equip emerging surgeons to address nearly any oral cancer case. It presents basic principles through a series of images and diagrams, blending traditional methods with innovative techniques. Anatomical insights link prior knowledge to surgical practices, while historical context and practical recommendations are shared in an engaging, sometimes anecdotal manner. The book's concise format is designed to help residents quickly study and review all aspects of oral cancer surgery, making it an invaluable resource for their training.
