title: Problems and complications associated with maxillectomy, mandibulectomy, and oronasal fistula repair.
abstract: Many oral tumors can be effectively treated by partial maxillectomy or mandibulectomy. These techniques involve excision of the tumor as well as the underlying bone. These procedures are described here and emphasis placed on the management of potential complications. Useful techniques for repairing oronasal fistulas are also described.
