About this Procedure
Head and neck cancer surgery removes cancers that start in the mouth and lips, tongue, throat, voice box (larynx), salivary glands, nose and sinuses. The aim is to remove the tumour with a margin of healthy tissue while preserving speech, swallowing and appearance as far as possible. Operations range from removing a small tumour through the mouth to larger procedures such as partial tongue removal (glossectomy), voice box surgery (laryngectomy) and salivary gland surgery.
Many patients also need a neck dissection, in which lymph nodes in the neck are removed to check whether the cancer has spread and to treat it. Certain throat cancers can be treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS), which reaches tumours at the back of the throat through the mouth without external cuts. When a larger area of tissue is removed, reconstructive surgeons can rebuild it, sometimes using tissue from another part of the body.
Surgery is done under general anaesthetic. Treatment for head and neck cancer is planned by a multidisciplinary team and may combine surgery with radiotherapy, chemotherapy or other treatments. After surgery, speech and swallowing therapy and nutrition support are an important part of recovery, and the length of stay depends on the extent of the operation and any reconstruction.
