Oral cancer refers to cancer that develops in any of the parts that make up the mouth (oral cavity).
00:20 - Is removal of the jawbone necessary in mouth cancer?
Oral surgery doesn’t necessarily mean that there is a need for the removal of the jaw bone. Patients with mouse cancer in buccal mucosa are treated without removing the jaw. In some cases, the cancer is just touching the jaw bone. In these cases, the jaw bone is just shaved and the process is known as marginal mandibulectomy. A margin is necessary for the removal of cancer.
01:24 - When is the removal of the jawbone necessary?
Patients with oral cancer spread in their jaw have to be treated with removal of the jaw. Due to medical advancements, nowadays, the jaw is not just removed but is replaced by using the fibula bone present in the leg. It is a vestigial organ and doesn’t affect the functioning of the leg. The fibula is removed along with some skin and is transplanted in the place of the removed jawbone.

Teeth are also replanted after two years of surgery to make the functioning of the mouth easy and to help the patient continue their daily lives. This surgery is done to retain the original appearance of the patient.
