👉 A glossectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing part of the tongue, palate, or jawbone. It's commonly used in cases where the affected area needs to be treated and can't be repaired with normal tissue. This type of surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and may involve local anesthesia or local anesthetic injections. The goal of a glossectomy is to remove any diseased tissues that might be causing discomfort, pain, or infection around the mouth.
