Advanced Head and Neck Surgery

21 May 2025

Head and neck surgery is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the head, neck, throat, larynx, sinuses, salivary glands, thyroid, and more. At Apex Hospital Vizag, our Head and Neck Surgery Department offers advanced care delivered with precision, compassion, and cutting-edge technology.

What is Head and Neck Surgery?

Head and neck surgery deals with a wide range of disorders, both benign and malignant, including cancers, infections, congenital anomalies, trauma, and structural deformities. The field overlaps closely with ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) and often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists, radiologists, speech therapists, and reconstructive surgeons.

Key Conditions We Treat

At Apex Hospital’s Head and Neck Surgery department, we provide specialized treatment for:

• Head and Neck Cancers
  Including cancers of the oral cavity, throat (pharynx and larynx), thyroid, salivary glands, and skin cancers of the head and face.

• Thyroid and Parathyroid Disorders
  Surgical management of thyroid nodules, goiters, hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and parathyroid gland dysfunction.

• Salivary Gland Disorders
  Treatment for infections, stones, tumors, and cysts in the salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual).

• Voice and Swallowing Disorders
  Management of hoarseness, vocal cord nodules, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and laryngeal diseases.

• Neck Masses and Lymph Node Enlargement
  Diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired neck swellings, cysts, and enlarged lymph nodes.

• Facial and Neck Trauma
  Surgical repair of fractures, lacerations, and soft tissue injuries resulting from accidents or trauma.

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
  Surgical intervention when conservative treatments for sleep apnea are ineffective.
