What is Head and Neck Cancer Surgery?

Surgical treatment of head and neck cancers is the most powerful treatment method against these cancers. Within this cancer group, examples treated by plastic surgery include skin cancers, tongue cancers, lip cancers, eyelid cancers, and salivary gland cancers.

How is Head and Neck Cancer Surgery Performed?

In treating this cancer group, it's necessary to extensively remove all areas where cancer is present and has the potential to spread. The tissue loss that occurs in such surgery is repaired as aesthetically and functionally as possible during the same operation. For this purpose, healthy tissue from a different part of the body is transferred to the cancer-cleared area using various tissue transfer techniques.

Detailed treatment of cancer varies according to its location and type, but in most cases, it is essential to surgically clear the lymph nodes in the neck where these cancers can spread. In our clinic, this surgery is performed both with classical methods and with robotic surgery.
