6 weeks later when I went in for a partial glossectomy it had gone. (macmillan.org.uk)
Reconstruction4
The objective of this video article was to provide a detailed description of the steps involved in utilizing ICG angiography for assessing recipient site perfusion after glossectomy with the primary goal of minimizing wound healing complications, especially when performing free flap reconstruction. (diagnosticgreen.com)
This flap is most commonly used for glossectomy defects, orbital/maxillary defects, and (as a muscle-only flap) skull base reconstruction. (medscape.com)
The rectus flap provides excellent reconstruction of total glossectomy defects. (medscape.com)
After the biopsy confirmed squamous cell carcinoma, he underwent subtotal left glossectomy, bilateral radical neck dissection, tracheotomy, and radical forearm free flap reconstruction. (aafp.org)

A midline glossectomy is a surgical reduction of the size of the base of the tongue (posterior tongue), sometimes used to treat sleep apnea. (wikipedia.org)
Tumor2
If you are told that you need to have a glossectomy due to a tumor, it's perfectly normal to be shocked and frightened at first. (dental-advice.info)
The type of glossectomy performed to remove cancers of the tongue may depend in part on the size of the tumor. (cancercenter.com)
