Through them, the phlegmon cavity is opened by separation of the tissues of the maxillofacial muscle and subperiosteal clipping of the anterior abdomen of the digastric muscle from the hyoid bone. In the postoperative period, the patient's head is fixed for two days in an extension position at an angle of 60° for the brachycephalic form of the skull and at an angle of 45° for the dolicho- and mesocephalic form of the skull.
