Abstract
This step-by-step manuscript describes surgical technique of segmental mandibulectomy in the dog. This surgical procedure may be indicated for the excision of small- to mid-sized neoplasms or as a salvage procedure for mandibular fractures. Long-term postoperative complications are not common and cosmetic appearance following the procedure is generally acceptable to the pet owner.
