A maxillectomy is a surgical procedure involving the partial or complete removal of the maxilla, or upper jaw bone. It is most commonly performed to treat tumors (benign or malignant) affecting the maxilla, adjacent structures such as the hard palate, the maxillary sinus, or as part of more extensive craniofacial resections.
