Primary reconstructive surgical treatment of patients with cancer of the mucous membrane of the floor of the oral cavity.
A new method of primarily reconstructive surgical treatment of patients with cancer of the mucous membrane of the floor of the oral cavity is described. By means of this method it is possible to preserve the natural ways of breathing and nutrition from the early postoperative period without neglecting the principles of radical treatment and considerably to reduce the number of postoperative complications. The proposed method of operation does not lead to disfigurement of the lower portions of the mandibulofacial region.
