Head & Neck Surgery

Department Details:

Head and Neck Surgery is a specialized field focused on the treatment of tumors, benign and malignant growths, and other conditions affecting the structures in the head and neck region. This includes the thyroid, salivary glands, and other vital structures such as lymph nodes, the mouth, throat, and nasal passages. Our surgeons are skilled in performing complex surgeries to remove tumors, treat glandular disorders, and address various head and neck health concerns. Whether it’s for a benign growth or a more serious cancerous tumor, our team uses advanced surgical techniques to ensure the best outcomes for both function and appearance, while prioritizing patient safety and recovery.

Tumor removal is a critical component of head and neck surgery, focusing on the removal of both benign and malignant tumors from the throat, mouth, sinuses, salivary glands, and neck. These tumors can cause a variety of symptoms, including difficulty swallowing, breathing issues, or changes in appearance. Early detection and surgical intervention are vital for improving the prognosis and minimizing complications. Depending on the size, location, and type of tumor, our surgeons may use minimally invasive or open surgical techniques to safely remove the growth. We work closely with oncologists to ensure that the tumor is fully excised, and additional treatments such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be recommended to prevent recurrence. Our goal is to remove the tumor while preserving the function and appearance of the surrounding structures.

The thyroid is a vital gland located in the neck that controls many of the body’s functions through hormone production. Thyroid conditions, such as nodules, cysts, goiters, or thyroid cancer, can lead to symptoms like difficulty swallowing, neck pain, or changes in hormone levels. Our team of specialists performs thyroid surgeries, including thyroidectomy (partial or total removal of the thyroid), to treat both benign and malignant conditions. In cases of thyroid cancer, we ensure the complete removal of the affected tissue and work with oncology specialists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

The salivary glands are responsible for producing saliva, which is essential for digestion, oral health, and swallowing. Disorders affecting the salivary glands, such as infections, tumors, or blockages, can cause pain, dry mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Our specialists offer advanced treatment options for salivary gland conditions, including the removal of salivary gland tumors, treatment for ductal obstructions (such as stones or blockages), and surgical intervention for infections.
