Overview of Mandibulectomy in Dogs. Mandibulectomy is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the lower jaw is removed. This can involve both sides of the jaw or just one side. Up to three-quarters of the entire lower jaw can be removed. Mandibulectomy is most commonly undertaken for the treatment of benign or malignant tumors affecting the lower jaw.
A blebectomy, or bullectomy, involves resecting (removing) a portion of lung that is non-functional (think of it like a bubble or cyst). Blebs or bullae are at risk for leak, causing pneumothorax (collapsed lung). When large, they may prevent the remaining lung from working efficiently.
