title: [Resection of protruding mandibular angle through combined external and intraoral approach].
abstract: Mandibular angle protrusion may cause excessive width of the mandible and a disproportion of the face. A new method was introduced to resect the protruding mandibular angle through a combined external and intraoral approach. Good results were received in 5 cases. This operation avoided external scar and the danger of damage to the marginal nerve.
