Successful surgical removal and reconstruction of the recurrent ameloblastoma of mandible

28/7/2015

Comments

 
A 29 year old man reported to our hospital with the complaint of swelling in the right side of his face. He added that twice it was removed in his hometown surgically and it was failed and recurrence occurred. He was very cautious about this progressive swelling which made him under huge depression.
After thorough clinical and radiological examination, Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji diagnosed it as recurrent ameloblastoma involving the right side body of the mandible. Surgery was planned to remove the lesion and reconstruct the affected jaw portion in a single stage. Through gingivomucoperiosteal flap, complete removal of the lesion along with the involved teeth with sufficient clearance of the bone was done under General anesthesia.  Costochondral rib graft was harvested and fixed to it. Flap was approximated and sutured. Patient was happy to have both removal and reconstruction in a single surgery.

9/7/2015

A 32 year old man from Trichy came to our hospital for expert treatment for his lower jaw defect. He complained of an intermittent pain and swelling in the right side of his lower jaw. The swelling was initially small and gradually increased to its present size for a period of 3 months.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji performed the clinical and radiological investigations. OPG and 3D CT scan showed a large radiolucent lesion involving impacted third molar. Almost entire bone in this portion of the lower jaw was lost. A biopsy of the lesion proved to be keratocyst due to impacted third molar.
Dr. Balaji successfully enucleated the cyst removing the cyst lining completely along with the affected teeth. Inferior border of the mandible and condyle preserved for continuity, graft contoured in L shape with titanium screws and inserted into the surgical site. Graft near the body of the mandible fixed with titanium plates & the surgical site was closed.

Successful resection of Aneurysmal bone cyst followed by jaw reconstruction

1/7/2015

Comments

 
A 28-year-old female reported to our hospital with a painful, bony swelling lesion in the front teeth region of her lower jaw. She had undergone a biopsy of the lesion elsewhere which proved to be aneurismal bone cyst. A 3D CT scan revealed the exact size and extent of the lesion in the anterior mandibular region. Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed a complete resection and reconstruction. A radical excision of the lesion was done with complete resection of all tissues lining the cyst and any of its components from the surrounding soft tissues. The involved teeth were also extracted. To reconstruct the residual defect, a graft from iliac crest was harvested using trapdoor technique. The harvested graft was used to reconstruct the residual mandibular defect. The surgical site was sutured. The patient was happy that the lesion was excised and jaw bone was reconstructed successfully.
