Resection of @entity1697 and oropharynx requires adequate exposure. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the approach employed (mandibular lingual releasing approach) for resection of some oral @entity5 and to point out the indications, advantages, complications, and refinements of this technique. The technique was carried out on 23 @entity1 with oral cavity or @entity957 . @entity2133 flap was @entity5773 without lip splitting, mandibulotomy, or mandibulectomy. After resection of the @entity5 and repair of the defect, the musculature of the @entity2133 was reattached to the lingual cortex of the mandible using Mitek minianchors. There was adequate exposure in all the @entity1 . Wound margin dehiscence occurred in four @entity1 resulting in an orocervical fistula in three @entity1 . Mandibular osteotomy and subsequent osteosynthesis were avoided. Thus instability and infection of the osteotomy site were avoided. However, additional mandibular osteotomy is feasible.

The use of Mitek pins in the mandibular lingual releasing XXXX : a technical note.
