Resection yields the best results in treating pain-producing megastyloids. With due regard to their courses, the extra-oral approach may be used for exposing them, but the intra-oral approach is very often more indicated. Due to the immediate proximity of the great cervical vessels, the resection in the high region, which is most likely to avoid failures, is not riskless. For this reason, the author uses for the intervention an instrumentarium developed on the basis of his own suggestions.
