Operations on the Upper Jaw.—The Operations that have been practised for the removal of tumors springing from the upper jaw are of threekinds. They consist of—1, Scooping out of the Tumor; 2, Partial Ex-cision of the Superior Maxilla; and 3, its Complete Removal with orwithout the Malar Bone. Por operations on the upper jaw, the Surgeon will require strong cut-ting pliers, and two or three narrow-bladed saws, with handles set atdifferent angles, and having movable backs (Pig. 583)..
