Mobilization of the Maxillary Lateral Buttress to Connect the Infratemporal Fossa and Buccal Space in Sublabial Approaches
Surgical access to tumors involving the infratemporal fossa (ITF) and adjacent regions can be challenging, and there is a continued need for novel approaches to complex tumors in this region. In this manuscript, we present a unique anatomical approach that allows contiguous exposure of the ITF and buccal space with mobilization of the lateral maxillary buttress.
