Endoscopic‐Assisted Posterior Partial Maxillectomy With Resection of the Tensor Veli Palatini

This study describes a novel surgical technique for recurrent soft palate carcinoma using a combined endoscopic endonasal and transoral approach. By employing a sequenced three-line osteotomy, this method allows for the precise en bloc resection of the posterior maxilla and the involved tensor veli palatini muscle while avoiding external facial incisions.

Abstract

This study describes a novel surgical technique for recurrent soft palate carcinoma using a combined endoscopic endonasal and transoral approach. By employing a sequenced three-line osteotomy, this method allows for the precise en bloc resection of the posterior maxilla and the involved tensor veli palatini muscle while avoiding external facial incisions.
