"His head was swathed in bandages. He had undergone two successive operations in which his whole upper jaw, excepting two front teeth, and most of his lower jaw had been removed. All the remaining bone tissue of his body was slowly disintegrating, and holes were actually forming in his skull.".

Not just his skull, too. That's horrifying.

The jaw is part of the skull, still horrifying though, hard agreement there.

Thank you for the agreement. But next time read the entire reply before trying to correct someone.
