Radical maxillectomy has usually been done by the classical Weber Ferguson incision since age old times and still is being used widely due to its advantage of excellent exposure and minimal scarring as the incision follows the natural skin crease. In our modification of radical maxillectomy incision we avoid a scar on the midface by performing a midface degloving and combining it with a subconjunctival eye incision thus avoiding any cosmetic deformity and associated eye complication. It also avoids the late complication of cutaneous fistula following radiotherapy to these areas and due to early healing of the wound, early radiotherapy can be started.
