Diagnosis and surgical treatment of tumors

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our team develops a tailored treatment plan based on the type, size, location, and stage of the tumor. Surgical options include:

1. Minimally Invasive Procedures

• Endoscopic Surgery :
  • Removal of tumors in the nasal cavity, sinuses, or throat using an endoscope inserted through natural openings.
• Robotic Surgery :
  • Precision removal of tumors in hard-to-reach areas, such as the throat or base of the tongue, with minimal invasiveness.

2. Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery

• Thyroidectomy :
  • Partial or total removal of the thyroid gland for thyroid nodules, goiter, or thyroid cancer.
• Parathyroidectomy :
  • Removal of abnormal parathyroid glands causing hyperparathyroidism.

3. Salivary Gland Surgery

• Removal of tumors in the parotid, submandibular, or sublingual glands while preserving facial nerve function.

4. Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

• Excision of Malignant Tumors :
  • Complete removal of cancerous growths in the oral cavity, throat, larynx, or sinuses.
• Neck Dissection :
  • Removal of lymph nodes in cases where cancer has spread.
• Reconstructive Surgery :
  • Restoration of form and function using advanced techniques such as free flaps or grafts.

5. Laser Surgery

• Use of laser technology to precisely remove or ablate tumors in sensitive areas like the vocal cords or throat, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

6. Mohs Surgery for Skin Tumors

• Layer-by-layer removal of skin cancers (e.g., basal cell carcinoma) with immediate microscopic examination to ensure complete excision.
