Avoids all the disadvantages of a lateral mandibulotomy and the sequelae of a midline mandibulotomy
A paramedian mandibulotomy offers significant advantages:
Wide exposure to the surgical field
Preservation of the geniohyoid and genioglossus muscles:
Leading to preservation of:
The hyomandibular complex
The only muscle requiring division is the mylohyoid muscle:
Which leads to minimal swallowing difficulties
A paramedian mandibulotomy does not cause denervation or devascularization of the skin of the chin or the teeth and mandible
Fixation at the mandibulotomy site is easy
The site of the mandibulotomy does not fall within the lateral portal of radiation therapy if the patient needs postoperative radiotherapy:
Thus at present a paramedian mandibulotomy remains an optimal surgical approach for access to posteriorly located larger lesions of the oral cavity and tumors of the oropharynx and parapharyngeal space
