Specialised Surgery for Oral Cancer

Oral cancer surgery typically involves removal of the cancerous tissue along with precisely defining the extent of surgery for individual cases. Depending upon the region and the extent of spread, these surgeries can be significantly different.

Some of the commonly addressed cancer surgeries in oral cavity are:

• Tongue and Floor of Mouth Cancer Surgery
• Buccal Mucosa, Inner Cheeks and Inner Lips Cancer Surgery
• Gum Cancer Surgery
• Oral Cavity Cancer Surgery with possible neck surgery

Depending upon the tumour location and spread, Neck Surgery is also often performed.

Personalised Surgical Plan for Oral Cancer Surgery

There is no standard single surgery for each presentation of oral cancer as the tumour location and extent differs from case to case. The surgical plan is often individually tailored on the basis of tumour location, extent, and investigations. Some tumours may require only tumour excision whereas others may require extended surgery including neck surgery. Some of these extensive surgeries may also require Reconstructive Surgeries to restore the form and function of the excised region.

The other cancer specialists may also be involved in the treatment plan depending upon the pathology reports.

Robotic Assisted Surgery for Selected Cases of Oral Cancer

Apart from the traditional surgery for oral cancer, Dr. Hitesh also offers Robotic Assisted Oral Cancer Surgery for selected cases.

Depending upon the tumour location, robotic assisted approach can be an alternative for tumours that are surgically accessible via the oral cavity. This treatment modality is not suitable for all the tumours and the suitability is decided on a case to case basis.
