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.

Lakshaami Shetty2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Doctor, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your care and kindness during such a scary time. When the slab suddenly fell on us while we were sleeping on the floor at midnight, I was terrified. But your calm words, gentle approach, and encouragement made me feel safe and hopeful. You not only treated my injuries—you healed my fear too. I will always recommend you, not just for your skill, but for the compassion you show.

Dr. Bharat Saxena is exceptionally passionate about his work, approaching it with the dedication of someone who truly worships his profession. Meeting him changed my perspective on how compassionate and humble a doctor can be, especially in a country like India, where human life often isn’t valued as it should be. In these times, Dr. Saxena stands out, treating his patients with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Saxena for the way he treated my father during his mouth cancer surgery. He assured us that my father’s face would look flawless after the procedure, and true to his word, no one can tell that he underwent surgery. My entire family is indebted to his care and professionalism. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and pray that his passion for his work continues to shine. Thank you, Doctor Saxena 🙏 Akshat2024-09-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
