Combined Mandibulectomies and Dissection Operation (COMMANDO) surgery is an intensive surgery performed to treat the intra-oral tumour. There are several surgical approaches available to perform COMMANDO surgery. The type of surgery depends upon several factors, such as size and location of the lesion, distance from the mandible, prior irradiation of the mandible, mandible height, level of exposure to the surgical field, and dentition existence.
