Oral Cancer Surgery

Oral cancer surgery involves the removal of cancerous tissue from the mouth, throat, or surrounding areas. The goal is to eliminate the tumor while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Depending on the cancer's size and location, surgery may range from a simple excision of a small lesion to more extensive procedures that might involve reconstructing parts of the mouth or jaw. Following surgery, patients may require additional treatments like radiation or chemotherapy. Recovery may involve managing pain and adjusting to changes in eating or speaking. Regular follow-ups are essential for monitoring and prevention of recurrence.
