Ameloblastoma

[summy2]

U guys are amazing... for it´s look a really mess !! did u guys are dentist or doctor ?

[angel551wing]

i had my ameloblastoma removed late last year, it was nothing compared to this size. so weird watching someone else's happen. horrible things they are. caused me so much trouble.

[robertpetrea23]

i think it's just because i'm young and currently in dentistry but OMF surgery seems like the most glamorous thing you can do from this side of medicine.

what were the drs opinions about his chance if he didnt get the surgey && if he did?

[leabby1414]

what was the proximate size of this tumor? & was it close to the main artery?

[Demagogue8990]

@leabby1414 7cm's, which required removal of a portion of the jaw. It was sitting on the facial artery & vein, which are sizable vessels.

@Demagogue8990 Could you inform me if the pacient is ok.Is he depressed or he is fine?

[Demagogue8990]

@luisaheavymetal He's doing fine. He has moved to another state & is being followed by another team of doctors.

[luisaheavymetal]

@Demagogue8990 Thanks :) I'm glad that he's fine!

[leabby1414]

is there anyway they can do a suegery like that without any blood transfusions?

[Demagogue8990]

@leabby1414 they sure can; however, the tumor would have to be much smaller.

[paireon]

Damn. This is why I'll never be a surgeon. I can watch pretty much anything if I know it's special effects, but the real deal always makes me squeamish.

[leabby1414]

did the patient have to have a blood transfusion?

[Demagogue8990]

@leabby1414 yes he did. he received 2 units of blood.

Very nice reconstruction, especially after such dramatic changes to the mandible.

I love how Behind Blue Eyes is playing in the background

You mean a lateral sinus window technique sadfsd4? Also you need to be a md first then specialize in oral maxfax or you can become a dentist then become an oral surgeon then do oral maxfax while doing your md.

[manochicodamooca]

what's your opinion about the auxiliar Technique of cryoterapy to minimize the recidive?

[manochicodamooca]

i want to be a oral maxillofacial surgeron

and after be a MD, it's a good combination because i can use the both knowledge

[artsygurl83]

this happened to me as well i have 7 more surgeries left after this it really sucks

[AznSenzation09]

That happened to me but only less severe. I'm only 14, which really suprised me because it's common among african americans over 30.
