An improved simplified technique is described for reducing the volume of the tongue by operation. A plastic support has been designed on which the tongue can be spread out symmetrically and fixed in position. Gallbladder forceps are applied to the base of the tongue to avoid hemorrhage. An initial incision is made through the whole thickness of the tongue down to the support, and a partial resectomy performed, followed by apposition of the wound edges. The results obtained with this procedure are far superior to those previously reported using other techniques: the operation takes less time and there is almost no loss of blood.
本文描述了一种改良的简化技术，用于通过手术减少舌头体积。设计了一种塑料支撑物，舌头可对称展开并固定在该支撑物上。使用胆囊钳夹在舌根处以避免出血。在舌头上做一个贯穿全层直至支撑物的初始切口，进行部分切除术，然后缝合伤口边缘。该手术取得的结果远优于先前使用其他技术所报告的结果：手术耗时更短且几乎不出血。
