Abstract

BACKGROUND: The approach to the mandible for segmental resection in malignant pathologies entails a lip-split, angle-split or visor flap incision with extension of the incision into the neck for performing neck dissection. The modified facelift approach with robot-assisted neck dissection can be used to achieve oncologically safe resections with good cosmesis.
