Abstract

The maxillectomy is one of the surgical interventions prescribed for the neoplasms
treatment of facial area. This technique involves the resection of maxilla and of
some adjacent anatomical structures. There are many terms defining the types and
subtypes of maxillectomy creating confusion. Since there is not only tool and
worldwide standardized, nowadays the classification and treatment procedure is still
a challenge. In current classification systems of maxillectomy there are authors
advocating very radical treatments and other favoring the conservative or partial
treatments. The aim of present paper is to present a classification system for
Maxillectomy used in the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology (NIOR).
We concluded that provided that tumor resection be complete and with a good
safety margin, it is possible to propose that there is not difference in results
between the type of maxillectomy performed and the disease-free interval and that
without an international standard, the therapeutical decision rely more in personal
convictions and results achieved by the researcher groups than in a global
consensus.
