The pathology and surgical treatment of tumors . egnoli devised an operation, later modified by Billroth (Fig. i8i),by which the base of the tongue can be made freely accessible withoutdividing the inferior maxilla. The cavity of the mouth is opened by ahorseshoe-shaped incision corresponding with the lower border of the jaw; the cavity of the mouthbeing opened, the tongue isdrawn forward through the in-cision sufficiently to bring itsbase within easy reach. Morerecently, Kocher devised anincision by which the base ofthe tongue is reached from theside without dividing the jaw(Fig. 182). This incision is com-menced below the ear, and iscarried along the anterior mar-gin of the sterno-cleido-mastoidmuscle about five inches, whenit is directed forward, and by asmall turn upward is made to terminate near the symphysis of the flap of skin is then raised as far as the lower border of the jaw, andthrough this space the base of the tongue is reached. The tongue isthen drawn through the incision and is amputated in the usual -Amputation of the tongue by Langenbecksmethod.
