Felix Chukwuneke: Airway Management Following Total Mandibulectomy - A Technique of Tongue Fixation

Dr. Felix Chukwuneke explores the critical aspects of airway management following a total mandibulectomy, focusing specifically on a novel technique of tongue fixation. Chukwuneke highlights the complexities and challenges associated with maintaining a clear airway in patients who have undergone this extensive surgical procedure, which often impacts the structural integrity of the oral cavity and airway. By introducing a method for effectively securing the tongue, he addresses a significant gap in current practices and offers a practical solution to enhance patient safety and improve outcomes. His approach underscores the importance of adapting airway management strategies to accommodate the unique anatomical changes resulting from such surgeries, thereby advancing the field of surgical care and patient management.
