Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS)

Neck dissection is a surgical procedure performed to remove lymph nodes in the neck region affected by cancer. Dr. Seema Singh performs selective neck dissection, modified radical neck dissection, or radical neck dissection, depending on the extent and location of the cancerous cells.
In complex cases where tumor removal requires the resection of large portions of tissue, Dr. Singh may employ microvascular reconstruction techniques. This procedure involves the transfer of healthy tissue, bone, or blood vessels from another part of the body to reconstruct the affected area in the head and neck region.
Dr. Seema Singh utilizes laser surgery for precise and controlled removal of tumors in delicate areas of the head and neck. Laser surgery minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues, reduces bleeding, and facilitates faster healing.
In certain cases where tumors involve the jawbone (mandible) or the upper jaw (maxilla), Dr. Singh may perform mandibulectomy or maxillectomy. These procedures involve the surgical removal of the affected bone while preserving functionality and aesthetics.
Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure performed to create an opening in the neck to provide an alternate airway for patients with head-neck cancer. Dr. Seema Singh may recommend tracheostomy to manage airway obstruction or to facilitate post-operative recovery.
Please note that the specific surgical procedures used for head-neck cancer treatment will depend on the individual patient’s condition, tumor location, and extent of cancer spread.
