Conventional inferior maxillectomy involves removal of the bony hard palate and its mucoperiosteum. This can lead to formation of an oroantral fistula and thereby increase the morbidity in these patients leading to prolonged rehabilitation. Subperiosteal inferior maxillectomy involves sparing of the uninvolved mucoperiosteum of the hard palate. This flap is used for closure of the oroantral fistula, which preserves the functional capabilities of the patient, such as speech, mastication and deglutination.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215121002875_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>This case series describes the experience of using the technique of mucosa-preserving subperiosteal inferior maxillectomy in five patients with mucormycosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215121002875_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>With the technique used in this study, complete oronasal separation was achieved in all six patients.
