Head and neck oral cancer surgery involves various procedures to remove cancerous tissue, and may include reconstruction to restore function and appearance. Common surgeries include glossectomy (tongue removal), mandibulectomy (jawbone removal), maxillectomy (hard palate removal), and neck dissection (lymph node removal). Minimally invasive options like trans-oral laser microsurgery (TLM) and trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS) are also available for certain cancers.
