Mandibulectomy in a Cat
by Brett on Feb.06, 2010, under Veterinary Dental Cases
This cat presented with profound disfigurement from a rostral mandibular mass. Salvage excision and euthanasia were the options provided. The mass was excised and postoperative and next day images shown. This cat has full tongue function despite taking the mandible back to the level of the first molars at the base of the tongue. He is learning how to eat and doing quite well 3 days postop.
