Oncological head and neck surgery

Oncological head and neck surgery

There are several types of malignant tumors that affect the anatomy in the head and neck region. For example: the mouth, tongue, larynx, salivary glands, among others. 90% of them correspond to a type called Squamous or Epidermoid Carcinoma.

Thyroidectomy with intraoperative study

In this surgery, a small incision is made in the neck in the middle part to remove the thyroid, followed by a study by a pathologist and obtain an intraoperative diagnosis.

Parathyroidectomy

In case of elevations of calcium, these glands are responsible, which are removed to improve the prognosis of these patients.

Parotidectomy

The parotid gland is a major salivary gland, which can be the site of primary tumors, for which, in case of affection, an excision is carried out, respecting vital structures, such as the facial nerve.

Radical neck dissection

In this case, the lymph nodes of the neck are removed and cleaned, which are generally affected by different head and neck cancers.

Glosectomies

Resection of an area of the tongue to remove the primary tumor.

Maxillectomy and mandibulectomy

Oral cavity or paranasal sinus cancers affect these sites, which is why this removal is performed with maxillofacial techniques, with immediate reconstruction.
