Head & Neck Surgeries
best Head & Neck surgeon in Old Airport Road, Bangalore.
Head and neck surgeries comprise a wide spectrum of operative procedures performed to manage diseases affecting the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, salivary glands, thyroid, parathyroid, and neck structures. These surgeries dedicated to achieving a balance between oncological safety, functional preservation, and aesthetic restoration, thereby enhancing survival as well as long-term quality of life. These surgeries are among the most complex in otorhinolaryngology, as they involve vital functions such as breathing, swallowing, speech, and appearance.
Given the complexity of the anatomical region and the multidisciplinary needs of patients, head and neck surgery often involves collaboration with Oncologists, Radiologists, Pathologists, Plastic Surgeons and Speech and Swallowing Therapists.
- Commonly Done Head & Neck Surgeries
- Lymph Node Excision –This procedure is opted for when other less invasive techniques of diagnosis are inconclusive.
- Benign Neck Mass Excision – Benign masses like Paragangliomas, Carotid Body Tumors, Ranulas need surgical excision as treatment.
- Oncological Surgeries– Removal of malignant tumours of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, hypopharynx, salivary glands, thyroid, and paranasal sinuses, often combined with neck dissection to clear lymph nodes.
- Endocrine Surgeries – These are Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy for benign or malignant disease.
- Airway & Reconstructive Surgeries –Procedures such as Tracheostomy, Laryngotracheal Reconstruction, and Microvascular Free Flaps to restore airway patency, swallowing, speech, and cosmesis.
- Skull base Surgeries –Addressing tumours or lesions at the cranial base, often in collaboration with neurosurgeons.
- Trauma & Functional Surgeries –These include repair of maxillofacial injuries, treatment of salivary gland stones, and correction of congenital anomalies.
- My approach to Surgeries
- Comprehensive Assessment – The initial assessment will involve history detailing, physical examination along with procedures such as nasal endoscopy, laryngoscopy and other investigations such as CT scans, Ultra Sound, etc., if required.
- Clear Indications & Individualized Planning – Plan surgery based on anatomical findings, severity of symptoms, and patient goals. If the assessment is that medical management will suffice, priority will be take such protocol and avoid unnecessary surgery.
- Patient Counselling – I will explain the diagnosis, available options (medical vs surgical), expected outcomes, risks, and limitations to patient and their close relatives/bystanders. This process is to enable a joint decision making and set realistic expectations of the process, expected outcome and recovery timelines. I respect patient autonomy, but guide their decisions with medical judgment.
- Choosing Surgical Technique – I normally choose the least invasive yet effective technique, where possible, maintain physiology as much as possible by avoiding excessive resection and prioritize functional improvement.
- Multidisciplinary Approach– If needed, I involve and collaborate with Oncologists, Radiologists, Pathologists, Plastic Surgeons and Speech and Swallowing Therapists when conditions are complex or involves their expertise.
- Postoperative Care & Follow-Up–I provide clear instructions on post-surgery protocols the patients should follow. Post operative recovery is monitored regularly and patient is advised any change in protocol.
