- FIGURE 29.2-9A. A patient with a discrete mucosal recurrence of a
- nasopharyngeal cancer. The recurrence was superficial and at the roof
- of the nasopharynx. It was not accessible through the opened mouth or
- through the nose. He was treated with an I-125 implant via the
- transpalatal approach. This view looks into the mouth from above the
- patient's head, under general endotracheal anesthesia. A mouth
- retractor holds the mouth open. The tongue is at the top of the figure
- retracted by the tongue blade. The soft palate is exposed for the
- incision.
