Temporal bone cancer is rare but aggressive, affecting the structures of the ear and surrounding bones. Symptoms include persistent ear pain, hearing loss, and facial nerve weakness. Surgical treatment involves lateral temporal bone resection for localised tumours or subtotal temporal bone resection for extensive disease.
Benign lesions in the head and neck region can involve any of the following: skin, salivary glands, lymph nodes, and soft tissue. Although non-cancerous, these lesions may be noticed because of discomfort, aesthetic concern, or functional impairment, depending on the size and location. Cysts, lipomas, vascular malformations, and pleomorphic salivary…
Sinonasal cancer arises in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses, often presenting with nasal obstruction, nosebleeds, or facial swelling. Due to its proximity to the eyes and brain, precise surgical planning is essential. Endoscopic endonasal surgery is preferred for early-stage tumours, allowing tumour removal through the nasal passages without external…
Lymph node cancer in the neck can originate from primary lymphatic malignancies like lymphoma or as a metastasis from other head and neck cancers. The treatment approach depends on the underlying cause. If cancer has spread to lymph nodes, a neck dissection is performed to remove affected nodes while preserving key nerves and blood vessels.
Oropharyngeal cancer affects structures like the tonsils and base of the tongue, often linked to HPV infection. Nasopharyngeal cancer, arising behind the nasal cavity, is more common in specific genetic and environmental contexts. Minimally invasive robotic surgery is frequently used for early-stage tumours, reducing recovery time while preserving…
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck. It produces thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and calcium, which are important to the human body. Surgical indications for thyroid disorders include hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, large goitres, hyperfunctioning nodules, and suspected or confirmed thyroid cancer.
Parotid gland surgery is performed to remove a benign or malignant tumour to treat a chronic infection or an obstructive salivary gland condition. The largest of the salivary glands, the parotid gland, is close to the facial nerve (the nerve that controls facial muscle movement). Surgery aims to remove the lesion with minimum impact on nerve function…
Oral cavity cancer affects structures such as the tongue, gums, inner cheeks, and roof of the mouth. Risk factors include tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and HPV infection.
Laryngeal cancer affects the vocal cords and surrounding structures, often leading to voice changes, difficulty swallowing, and breathing issues. Surgical options include partial laryngectomy, preserving speech function, or total laryngectomy, requiring an alternative method of communication. The approach depends on the stage and location of the tumour.

Recovery varies based on the procedure. Minimally invasive surgeries may require a few weeks, while complex surgeries can take months, followed by rehabilitation if needed.
Certain surgeries, especially for tumours near the throat or vocal cords, may temporarily impact speech or swallowing. Rehabilitation with speech therapy helps restore normal function.
Most major head and neck surgeries require general anaesthesia, ensuring you remain unconscious and pain-free throughout the procedure. Local anaesthesia may be used for minor surgeries.
Depending on your condition, non-surgical treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy may be options. A specialist evaluates the best approach based on your diagnosis.
Light activities can often be resumed within a few weeks, but strenuous work may require a longer recovery. Your surgeon provides a timeline based on your specific surgery.
