Abstract
We report a simple and cheap self-designed scale that is a very effective instrument for partial glossectomy and tumor excision in oral cavity. This scale could be placed on the surface of the mucosa to design the adequate and accurate surgical margin with forceps. In addition, this scale can be attached on the surface of the mucosa without holding by the forceps. Its effectiveness and safety were identified for glossectomy, tumor excision in our experience.
