What is Head and Neck Cancer Reconstruction?
Understanding the Condition
Head and neck cancers affect critical areas such as the oral cavity, throat, larynx, salivary glands, and nearby structures. Treatment often involves removal of cancerous tissues, which can lead to significant functional and aesthetic deficits.
Surgery Purpose

Common Indications

- Mandibulectomy or maxillectomy defects
- Skin and soft tissue loss due to tumour excision
- Tracheostomy or laryngectomy defects
Types of Reconstruction Techniques
Depending on the extent of the defect and patient condition, the following reconstructive options are offered:
Flap-Based Reconstruction
- Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap (PMMC): Ideal for oral cavity and pharyngeal defects
- Free Flap Reconstruction (e.g., Radial Forearm, Fibula, Anterolateral Thigh Flap): Used for complex, three-dimensional reconstructions
Bone and Soft Tissue Reconstruction
- For mandible or maxilla defects post tumour removal
- Includes use of vascularized bone grafts like the fibula free flap
Performed by a Specialist
The reconstruction procedure is carried out by Dr. Bharat Saxena and his expert team, either at Nanavati Hospital or at the Saxena Clinic. Dr. Saxena is a renowned reconstructive surgery specialist in India, with advanced training from TATA Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan.

We had an incredible experience with Dr. Bharat Saxena. My mother was dealing with a highly complex, recurrent post-APR perineal hernia (severe pelvic floor deformation) following her rectal cancer surgery. After a previous hernia surgery failed in Delhi, we were very anxious. I initially reached out to Dr. Saxena with her case, and he was super supportive right from the start. His quick and reassuring responses gave us the confidence to arrange my parents' travel from Odisha to Mumbai. During the consultation, he clearly explained the entire process and did not hesitate to perform the right, complex reconstructive surgery (a VRAM with a VY Gluteal flap), which is shown to have good success for this rare condition. As a plastic surgeon, his expertise in pelvic floor reconstruction is unmatched. Beyond his brilliant surgical skills, he is super approachable, incredibly supportive, and provides absolutely great post-surgery care. Thank you so much, Dr. Saxena, for taking on this complex case and giving our family peace of mind!Posted on Google Vineet UpadhyayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The entire experience, from consultation to surgery, was handled with great professionalism, compassion, and reassurance. A special thanks to anaesthetic specialist Dr. Bhatti, whose calm and caring approach made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the procedure. The suture surgery was performed smoothly and with great precision, and the care shown towards our child and family meant a lot to us. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Kashish SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
