Head and Neck Cancer Microvascular Reconstruction

Head and neck cancer microvascular reconstruction is a surgical technique used to rebuild areas affected by cancer, particularly in the mouth and face. After tumors are removed, surgeons often need to restore tissues, including skin, muscle, and bone. This procedure involves using healthy tissue from another part of the body, such as the forearm or thigh, and reconnecting its blood vessels to the neck's blood supply using microsurgery. This approach ensures proper healing and restores function and appearance, allowing patients to regain speech, swallow, and enhance their quality of life post-surgery.
