Mandibulectomy Illustration

This surgical illustration is intended to educate medical students on the procedure of a mandibulectomy, which is performed to treat conditions such as oral cancer or severe bone infection. The illustration outlines the key surgical steps, including resection of a portion of the mandible, harvesting of the fibula, and grafting the fibula to reconstruct the remaining mandible. A patient-orientation diagram in the upper right corner indicates the incision path followed by the surgeon, providing spatial context for the procedure.
