Forty-five patients had a "total" glossectomy for initial advanced tongue carcinoma or for recurrent carcinoma. Forty percent of the patients (18) had a total laryngectomy at the time of glossectomy. Forty-nine percent of the patients (22) had either a lateral or anterior mandibulectomy at the time of glossectomy.

The American Journal of Surgery, 1987
Total glossectomy is a procedure based on sound oncologic principles, and its usefulness may not be fully appreciated. Given the dimensions of the tongue and the need to obtain a wide margin of resection, this procedure may be indicated in selected T3 lesions and recurrences after irradiation. The procedure offers excellent palliation of pain, and form

Total glossectomy without laryngectomy
Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 1986When cancer of the tongue reaches a large size (T3, T4) it is almost impossible to treat it successfully with radiotherapy. The only therapeutic possibility in such cases is, therefore, total glossectomy. This may be effected without laryngectomy and with immediate reconstruction using musculo-cutaneous flaps.

Functional consequences of partial glossectomy
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1994The postsurgical deglutition, oral suction, and speech capabilities of 11 patients who had undergone partial glossectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the lateral aspect of the tongue were compared with that of 20 healthy control subjects. Volume swallowed per second and speech quality were significantly correlated with the area of tongue removed ...

Prosthodontic rehabilitation for glossectomy patients
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1982Patients with oral carcinomas often have resection of the tongue, the floor of the mouth, or the bone of the mandible. Postoperatively, these patients encounter chewing, swallowing, and speech problems. Oral rehabilitation through prosthetic management can aid in alleviating these problems. Designs of the prosthesis vary according to patient needs.

Analysis of the articulation after glossectomy
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1996Rehabilitation of the oral cancer patient should aim to achieve not only morphological restoration but also post‐operative functions. However, there are few reports describing quantitative evaluation of the latter. The authors have attempted quantitative evaluation of post‐operative articulatory function after glossectomy, and report the evaluation of ...

An interim prosthesis for the glossectomy patient
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1987The use of a simple patient-held prosthesis for improving speech in a patient with mandible and tongue resections has been described. As subjectively perceived and objectively verified, speech intelligibility improved in a test patient. There were no apparent risks or lengthy therapy.
