Hemiglossectomy-1/4.MPG

This video shows surgery called HEMI-GLOSSECTOMY or removal of half of the tongue, done for a moderately advanced (T2N1MO) Carcinoma (Cancer) of the Oral Tongue. The tumor was arising from the right lateral border of the tongue and encroaching the floor of mouth as well but the mandible or jaw bone was spared. The neck was also cleared of disease (Neck Dissection).

@sridevi7894

Please go to the part 4/4 of this surgery that shows complete excision and beautiful anatomy of the remaining tongue. Injury to neurovascular bundle is not a problem. Thanks

this must have been performed under GA... I don't see nasal intubation, though!

[ausafakhan]

@khantalibkhanaligarh Yes, of course it was performed under GA with nasotracheal intubation. Thanks

What is it that's being used to cauterize/cut the tongue? A laser?

[ausafakhan]

@KingOfFetusland No, i used DIATHERMY with coagulation current

@dheer1231 Hi, you are seeing the tumour being excised from the under side of the tongue. The chin is uppermost in the film. Yes and I also hope that he regains full recovery.
