Benefits
Head and neck oncology surgery offers numerous benefits, including complete or partial removal of cancerous tissue, reduced risk of cancer recurrence, improved ability to breathe, speak and swallow, and improved quality of life. Our team of medical professionals will closely monitor patients before and after surgery to ensure they achieve their desired outcomes.
Preparation
Prior to head and neck oncology surgery, patients will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests. Patients will also receive guidance on lifestyle modifications and dietary changes to help them prepare for the surgery and ensure a successful outcome. Our team of medical professionals will work with patients to address any concerns and answer any questions they may have.
Procedure
Head and neck oncology surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours to complete, depending on the extent of the surgery. During the procedure, our experienced surgeons will remove cancerous tissue while preserving healthy tissue to the extent possible. In some cases, reconstructive surgery may be necessary to restore the structure and function of the affected area.
Recovery and Post-Surgery Care
Following head and neck oncology surgery, patients may require a hospital stay for a few days to ensure they are healing properly. Our team of medical professionals will provide patients with detailed instructions on post-surgery care, including dietary and exercise recommendations. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure continued success.
