Restoring Form & Function After Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

Cancer treatment, especially for head and neck cancers, often requires the removal of tumors that can affect essential functions such as speech, swallowing, and facial aesthetics. Dr. Dushyant Mandlik, a leading head and neck cancer surgeon, specializes in Microvascular Reconstruction & Oncoplasty, ensuring not just cancer removal but also functional and aesthetic restoration.

What is Microvascular Reconstruction?

Microvascular reconstruction is an advanced surgical technique that involves transplanting tissues, blood vessels, and bones from other parts of the body to rebuild areas affected by cancer surgery. These grafts restore functionality and appearance, improving the patient’s quality of life.
Commonly Used Free Flaps in Reconstruction:

🔹 Fibular Free Flap: For jawbone (mandible) reconstruction
 🔹 Radial Forearm Flap: For tongue, oral cavity, or throat defects
 🔹 Anterolateral Thigh (ALT) Flap: For large soft tissue defects
 🔹 Scapular Free Flap: For complex jaw and facial reconstructions

What is Oncoplastic Surgery?

Oncoplasty combines oncologic tumor removal with reconstructive plastic surgery to restore cosmetic and functional outcomes after cancer surgery. This technique is especially beneficial for cancers affecting the face, oral cavity, and throat, where appearance and function are critical.
Commonly Used Free Flaps in Reconstruction:

🔹 Preserves facial symmetry and aesthetics
 🔹 Enhances speech and swallowing ability
 🔹 Minimizes scarring for better cosmetic results
 🔹 Improves post-surgical healing and recovery
