reected to the right by the left innominate vein, left carotid, and subclavian arteries. The trachea may also be pushed anteriorly in some cases.
Hence, at times an anterior approach, namely sternotomy, would give access to these tumours, especially the ones in the posterior mediastinum. In these circumstances, a lateral or posterolateral thoracotomy is a much easier approach.
14.6 Mandibulotomy
andMandibulectomy
Mandibulotomy is a mandibular osteotomy which is normally performed for surgical access to the oral cavity. This is an important bony approach for surgical removal of, for example, tongue can­cer as it provides ample space and exposure for

is important to provide adequate airways during healing post-operatively (Fig. 14.10). A more advanced access to either thorax can also be enhanced further by performing a clavicle oste­otomy on the respective side.
14.5.2 Other Approaches inThyroid andSuperior Mediastinal Tumour
Most intrathoracic goitres lie anterior to the recurrent laryngeal nerve and anterolateral to the trachea. Goitres in the anterior mediastinum arise from the isthmus or the lower part of the thyroid lobes. As the mass grows, the great vessels may be displaced laterally. Goitres that grow posteri­orly into the mediastinum arise from the postero­lateral aspect of the gland and descend posterior to the great vessels. Most are right sided, and even the ones originating from the left lobe are
instrumentation and manipulation. Occasionally, it is also used for access and resection of maxil­lary carcinoma through the hard palate exposure and removal of tumours in the parapharyngeal space. The mandibulotomy may also be combined with midline glossotomy as an approach for pathology in the cervical spine region.
There are several types of mandibulotomy that are commonly performed. These include midline mandibulotomy, paramedian mandibulotomy, and lateral mandibulotomy (Fig.14.11). Most of the time, lip split needs to be performed before exposing the mandible for osteotomy (Fig.14.12). The paramedian mandibulotomy uses the cut that is placed lateral to the genioglossus and digastric muscle attachment in the midline (Fig. 14.13). This cut is also medial to the mental foramen.
The midline Z-type incision is better than a circummental lip split as the muscles, i.e. the mentalis, the depressor angular oris, and the depressor labii inferioris, will be somewhat dis­rupted. The canine is the best tooth to use as a dental abutment for tissue-borne dental prosthe­sis. Thus, the mandibulotomy should not com­promise this tooth and its root.

Surgical Steps of Mandibulotomy
1. Before performing soft- tissue cut or lip split, any necessary dental extraction should be performed rst.
2. Lip split (Fig.14.12) is carried out by start­ing the incision on the lip mucosa with the assistant holding the lip with strong pres­sure on either side to reduce the bleeding, as the lips are highly vascularized.
3. The skin incision is extended inferiorly vertically from vermilion border about
1.0cm above the mental crease. Then it is angled 1.0 cm away from the midline to
unite with the mental crease. The incision is then descended horizontally for 2.0cm or so before angled back to the midline.
4. A step at vermilion border allows incision at the lip, gingivolabial sulcus, and FOM to be in a paramedian on the side opposite the paramedian mandibulotomy. This incision places the incision through mucosa away from the intended mandibu­lotomy site.
5. The cut is then deepened using cautery till muscular layer in midline. Care should be taken not to injure the mentalis muscle.

surgical access and exposure to remove tumour with negative surgical margins. The neurovascu­lar structures close to clavicle can be either com­pressed or pushed to this tight area, and this makes it difcult to explore and free them from the tumour.

along the inferior border of mandible and the other 1–2.0cm above this depending on the mandible height. At least a minimum of three screws should be used on either side.
8. The plates are removed to allow a bone cut on the mandible. In a dentate patient, care should be taken to avoid injury to the cuff of the bone around the roof if there is any.
9. In edentulous patients, there is no need to contour the plates prior to mandibulotomy. The risk of malocclusion is very low.
10. After extirpation of the tumour, the previ­ous contoured plates are reapplied.
11. The closure of intraoral mucosa is performed meticulously. Any tear or break­down may cause contamination of man­dibulotomy site with leaky saliva.
14.7.1.1 Case 1
This is a case of female patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma who had modied radical neck dissection (MRND), and again had recur­rent tumour at left level IV, where the inferior border of the mass was abutting the clavicle. After reviewing her CT scan, the decision for clavicle osteotomy was made, as the mass extended deep to the clavicle. Detailed examina­tion revealed the left level IV nodes measuring
5.0cm×4.0cm, and it was hard in consistency and xed to the underlying structures. The endos­copy examination of larynx revealed a right vocal cord bowing with a minimal phonatory gap. Repeat CT scan in August 2016 showed the pres­ence of left supraclavicular mass that compressed both the left subclavian vein and internal jugular vein (Fig.14.14).

To get the entire medial and lateral marginal control of the mass, the clavicle was osteoto­mized at the middle segment and reected sub­periosteally (Figs.14.15, 14.16, and 14.17). The entire mass was removed in total with a cuff of normal tissue to achieve wide resection oncolog­ical margin (Fig. 14.18) [23]. Post-operatively, the patient is well with evident titanium plate on the neck X-ray (Fig. 14.19) and clinically (Fig.14.20).

The use of a clavicle osteotomy as an approach for a low-lying recurrent neck tumour in the vicinity of the subclavicular area provides an optimal access to the surgical site. This approach is highly suggested for tumours that encroach the supraclavicular and subclavicular region so that a complete tumour resection can be carried out. In addition, the scapular tumour can also be accessed better via a clavicle osteotomy. This allows a safe tumour excision with free surgical margins as well as avoids the inadvertent injury to critical adjacent neurovascular structures.

14.8 Base-of-Neck Tumour

Surgical technique that addresses the base of neck such as a huge scapula tumour is technically challenging. This is attributed to multiple factors, namely:
1. The close proximity of critical structures such as subclavian artery, subclavian vein, and bra­chial plexus.
2. In case of huge tumour, the surgical access will be very limited.
3. In a long-standing tumour, the inltration to brachial plexus poses another treatment challenge.
Additionally, the attachment of bulky muscles to scapula and spine such as levator scapulae and erec­tor spinal will add to the difculty in manipulation and mobilization of the tumour. Anterior extension of the tumours may compress the major vessels and nerve in a tight and small compartment, which translates to difcult exploration of the vessels. In contrast, superior extension of the tumour between scalene muscles will cause difculties in mobiliza­tion of the root of brachial plexus.

Soft-tissue sarcoma and bromatoses (Fig.14.21) not uncommon occur around the base of neck or superior scapula border. The surgery is tedious due to close proximity with major vital structures of subclavian artery and brachial plexus. The surgical eld is also tight due to direct pressure by the tumour that compresses vital structures, and manipulation to achieve margin is difcult.
A ne surgical technique is by mobilization of the entire scapula and upper limb anteriorly together with neurovascular bundle. Posterior scapula stabilizer muscles of trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid, and erector spinal are detached with clavicular osteotomy able to create
a mobile window for resection of the base-of­neck tumour.

Trapezius muscle which is not involved is mobilized to the tip of spinous process for future closure (Fig.14.22). The erector spinae muscle is elevated and mobilized laterally and included as margin. Scapula is mobilized laterally by detach­ing all the medial muscle of rhomboid and levator scapulae (Fig.14.23).
