Head & Neck Surgery
Head and Neck Surgery encompasses a broad range of procedures from complex large cancer operations requiring reconstruction to removal of small skin lesions from the head or face.
Surgery may be required for either cancerous or non-cancerous conditions. The anatomy of the head and neck region represents the most complex in the human body. Surgery in this area can therefore have a significant impact on basic human functions such as eating, swallowing, speaking, breathing and facial expression. New techniques have evolved to assist the Head and Neck Surgeon in reducing this impact. Robotic Surgery or Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) is one such technique at the disposal of the Head and Neck Surgeon allowing a high definition view of anatomy and access to difficult areas.
Patients present to a Head and Neck Surgeon with a wide range of symptoms, often related to the basic human functions. Difficulty or pain on swallowing, change in voice, difficulty with breathing, pain in the throat or ear are all symptoms which need to be evaluated. A new neck lump which persists also needs to be assessed.
