At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, we offer comprehensive Head & Neck Surgical care for a wide range of conditions, including tumors, cysts, glandular disorders, and congenital anomalies. Our team of skilled ENT and Head & Neck surgeons ensures precise, safe, and effective treatment while preserving function and aesthetics.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Head & Neck Surgeries encompass interventions involving the thyroid gland, salivary glands (parotid, submandibular), lymph nodes, pharynx, larynx, and soft tissues of the face and neck. These surgeries may be performed for benign conditions, infections, or malignancies, and are tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

ANESTHESIA & PREPARATION

These procedures are typically done under general anesthesia. Preoperative planning includes imaging studies (CT, MRI, Ultrasound), FNAC or biopsy, and medical evaluation to assess surgical risks. For cancer cases, staging and multidisciplinary planning are key to optimal outcomes.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Common head & neck surgeries include:

• Thyroidectomy for nodules or thyroid cancer

• Parotidectomy for salivary gland tumors

• Neck Dissection for metastatic lymph nodes

• Excision of cysts or congenital anomalies
  Each procedure focuses on complete lesion removal with preservation of nerves, vessels, and vital structures whenever possible.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACHES

Whenever feasible, we employ endoscopic, robotic-assisted, or minimal access techniques to reduce scarring, minimize tissue trauma, and enhance recovery. These approaches are especially beneficial for selected tumors and gland surgeries.

CLOSURE & RECOVERY

Incisions are closed with precision, often with cosmetic considerations in mind. Drains may be used temporarily to prevent fluid accumulation. Most patients recover well with early mobilization and tailored postoperative care plans.

POST-SURGICAL CARE

Postoperative follow-up includes wound care, pain management, and rehabilitation if needed. In cancer surgeries, further treatment like radiation or chemotherapy may be planned. Speech and swallowing therapy is provided in selected cases to ensure optimal recovery.

CONCLUSION

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, our expertise in Head & Neck Surgeries ensures that patients receive holistic and compassionate care. With advanced techniques and a multidisciplinary approach, we strive to deliver excellent clinical outcomes and improved quality of life.
