Types of Surgery for Oral Cancer

Depending on the stage of your oral cancer, our doctors will recommend one of the following surgical treatments:

1) Tumor Resection:

The entire tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue is removed with a surgical procedure. A portion of normal tissue is being removed to eliminate the chance of any cancer cell being left behind. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, our doctor will perform an invasive or a non-invasive surgical procedure.

2) Glossectomy:

Glossectomy is performed to remove the cancer cells developed in the tongue. In case the size of the cancer cell is small, only a portion of the tongue is removed. However, in extreme cases, complete removal of the tongue is performed.

3) Mandibulectomy:

This type of cancer surgery, which involves removal of all or parts of the jaw bone, is performed to treat cancer of the jaw bone. A portion of the jaw bone is removed and replaced with another piece of bone from another part of the body (hip bone, shoulder blade, or a fibula). The bone of a deceased donor can also be used to replace the jaw bone of a patient.

4) Maxillectomy:

This type of surgery is performed for the treatment of cancer spread inside the roof of the mouth. Your doctor will create a hole in the roof of the mouth and fill it with a prosthesis denture. Our specially trained Prosthodontist perform such critical surgery with perfection to avoid any complication post-treatment.

5) Robotic Surgery
