Infiltrative processes that extend into the intervalvular fibrosa, such as infection or calcification, often mandate a complex reconstructive procedure known as the Commando operation. First described less than 20 years ago, this operation is not widely implemented, with experience limited to a few select centers. This report provides a detailed summary of our approach to this intricate procedure.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on treating locally advanced buccal mucosa cancer, primarily through surgery and postoperative radiotherapy with specific chemotherapy regimens, including Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil.
- It evaluates the effectiveness of de-escalated treatment using ipsilateral face radiotherapy, which targets only the affected side of the face to improve functions like chewing and mitigate side effects.
- A total of 54 patients were reviewed retrospectively, revealing treatment patterns and outcomes, including indications for radiation based on tumor margins and lymph node involvement, along with one patient's alternative treatment approach leading to poor outcomes.

The Commando procedure is an important tool to address extensive calcification of the aortic and mitral valves associated with radiation heart disease. We present a symptomatic patient with radiation heart disease associated with calcification of the mitral and aortic valves and the aortomitral curtain, which is typical of this pathology. The surgical approach consisted of exposure through aortotomy and left atrial dome, followed by aortic and mitral valve debridement, aortic and mitral valve replacement, with aortomitral curtain reconstruction using bovine pericardial patch.
