[Indications, techniques and results of intermaxillary ligation in partial mandibulectomy].
In radical operations of tumors in the cavum oris and oropharynx partial mandibulectomy is sometimes necessary. With inter-maxillary ligatures using the fixation aids described (splints, prostheses and rubber rings) it is possible to achieve sufficient immobilization to permit the wound to heal, training of the mouth-opening muscles and a long-term treatment to prevent the scar from shrinking. Examples of the good functional and cosmetic results are presented with photos.
