Management of Head and Neck Tumors

Head & Neck Tumor Management in Bangalore

Head and Neck Surgical Oncology focuses on diagnosing and treating tumours in complex areas. This includes the oral cavity, larynx, pharynx, paranasal sinuses, salivary glands, and skull base. These tumours can be benign or malignant. These tumours can significantly impact critical bodily functions, such as speaking, swallowing, breathing, etc. Surgical removal of these growths is often necessary for effective treatment. The highly personalized procedures are tailored to manage tumours of all types and stages effectively. A multimodal approach is undertaken to maximize success rates for malignancies. This involves surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of all of them. At Manipal Hospitals, we emphasize rehabilitative support to help you regain critical abilities like swallowing and speaking post-surgery.

Surgical options include:

  • Excision of tumours

  • Removal of lymph nodes

  • Reconstructive surgery to preserve the function and appearance of affected areas

An interdisciplinary team begins the process with a thorough assessment. The surgery is often performed using advanced, minimally invasive techniques which can reduce trauma to surrounding tissues. The chosen technique varies depending on the location and type of your tumour. For example, transoral robotic surgery, endoscopic resection, or traditional open surgeries may be utilized. For complicated cases, reconstructive procedures are often conducted simultaneously to restore functionality and appearance. Post-surgery, patients receive close monitoring and supportive therapies, supported by rehabilitative therapy to regain normal function and quality of life. 

Head and Neck Cancer Management

Head and neck cancer management focuses on diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating patients with tumours in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and salivary glands. These benign or malignant tumours can severely impact vital functions like breathing, speaking, and swallowing. Surgical treatment often involves removing the tumour along with affected lymph nodes to prevent cancer spread. Reconstructive surgeries are frequently combined with tumour excision to restore appearance and functionality. Following surgery, a multi-disciplinary approach involving radiation, chemotherapy, and rehabilitative care ensures comprehensive treatment. Personalised care plans focus on eradicating cancer and enhancing the patient’s quality of life.

Surgery for Salivary Gland Pathology

Surgery for salivary gland pathology treats tumours, infections, and obstructive disorders like salivary stones. These surgeries typically involve removing the affected gland while preserving facial nerve function. Minimally invasive techniques like sial endoscopy are used for stone removal. tumours procedures like parotidectomy or submandibular gland excision are performed. Advanced nerve-monitoring systems minimise risks of facial paralysis. Post-operatively, patients are monitored for functionality and appearance. Comprehensive care includes physiotherapy to restore facial movements and regular follow-ups to prevent recurrence or complications, ensuring therapeutic and aesthetic outcomes.

Microtia Repairs

Microtia repair is a reconstructive procedure designed to correct congenital ear deformities. It involves creating a natural-looking ear structure, often using the patient’s rib cartilage or synthetic materials. This surgery not only improves aesthetics but also enhances hearing functionality. The procedure is typically performed in multiple stages, starting with cartilage harvesting and ear framework creation, followed by skin grafting. Advanced techniques ensure minimal scarring and a realistic ear appearance. Rehabilitation and auditory therapy follow surgery to optimise hearing and overall results. The goal is to provide physical and psychological benefits, improving the patient’s confidence and quality of life.

Management of Nasal Allergy

Managing nasal allergies involves a combination of medical and surgical interventions to alleviate symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, and breathing difficulties. In chronic nasal allergies unresponsive to medication, procedures like turbinate reduction or septoplasty may be recommended to improve airflow. Endoscopic sinus surgery is another option to clear obstructions and reduce inflammation. These minimally invasive techniques restore nasal function with minimal downtime. Patients undergo allergy testing and immunotherapy post-surgery to address triggers and prevent recurrence. Comprehensive care plans are designed to improve patients' respiratory health and enhance their quality of life.
