Advanced Head & Neck Surgical Oncology
At Microcare Hospital, Rajkot, under the expert leadership of Dr. Kalind Bhalani (MS ENT, FHNSO), we provide comprehensive surgical treatment for benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck region. Our specialized approach focuses on achieving complete tumor clearance while preserving essential human functions like speech, swallowing, and natural facial aesthetics.
Surgical Precision
Conditions We Treat
Head and neck cancers require a delicate balance between aggressive surgical clearance and precise functional reconstruction. We specialize in managing:
- Oral Cavity Cancers: Advanced surgical management for cancers of the tongue, cheek (buccal mucosa), jawbone, and mouth floor, including immediate bone and soft tissue reconstruction.
- Laryngeal & Throat Cancers: Surgical resection for voice box and pharyngeal tumors, employing organ-preservation and voice-restoration techniques wherever possible.
- Thyroid & Parathyroid Disorders: Complete surgical management for thyroid nodules, goiters, and thyroid carcinomas with nerve-monitoring to protect vocal cord function.
- Salivary Gland Tumors: Superficial and total parotidectomy procedures performed with meticulous facial nerve preservation.
- Neck Dissections: Central and lateral neck lymph node dissections to prevent or treat cancer spread.
When Should You Consult a Specialist?
Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes. You should seek an immediate evaluation if you experience:
- Non-healing ulcers or sores in the mouth lasting more than 2–3 weeks.
- Painless lumps or swellings in the neck or collarbone region.
- Persistent hoarseness or changes in your voice.
- Difficulty or pain while swallowing food.
- Unexplained red or white patches inside the mouth.
Functional & Reconstructive Surgery
Removing a head and neck tumor often leaves structural defects. Dr. Kalind Bhalani emphasizes immediate tissue transfer and microvascular reconstruction to ensure that patients regain speech, swallowing capabilities, and confidence in their appearance following surgery.
