What is Head and Neck Cancer Reconstruction?

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

  • Restore speech, swallowing, breathing
  • Rebuild tissue with flaps
  • Improve appearance and symmetry
  • Support emotional, mental health

Common Indications

  • Oral cancer resections
  • 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.

What to Expect After Surgery

  • Feeding via Ryle’s tube if oral cavity is involved

Recovery Milestones

  • Resumption of oral feeding: Within 2–3 weeks
  • Speech therapy: Voice box cases
  • Aesthetic Recovery: Gradual Progress

Follow-Up Care

Proper post-operative care is vital to ensure success of head and neck cancer reconstruction.

Follow-up Schedule

  • Weekly visits in first month to monitor healing and complications.
  • Monthly reviews as advised to ensure recovery and adjust treatment.
  • Quarterly check-ups during the first year to monitor progress and detect warning signs.
  • Annual reviews after first year may include imaging and tests to rule out recurrence.

Follow-Up Care
