About the offer

Tumors in the nose and pharynx can be difficult to remove surgically without affecting important nearby structures. However, the operation can be required as a primary treatment solution. In some cases, surgeons also removed the neck's lymph nodes and soft tissues (muscles, vessels, and nerves) affected by metastases. Therefore, patients usually require reconstructive surgery as a part of a single operation. The surgery's primary goal is to remove the malignant tumor without any signs of cancer in the nearby healthy tissue. As a result, cosmetic defects remain on the face, and in some cases, speech, swallowing, and breathing disorders are possible. Reconstructive and plastic surgery is required to restore these functions:Bone grafts and dental implants restore the face's structure and jaw bone. Transplantation of a skin flap from another body part to the affected neck area. Reconstructive facial surgery to repair facial muscle movement. Such procedures are quite complex and performed and general anesthesia. A nasogastric tube is inserted through one of the nostrils to feed the patient after the operation. You can return home about 3-5 days after surgery with an installed tube. After treatment, a rehabilitologist, a nutritionist, and a speech therapist work altogether to restore lost functions.
