Head Neck Oncosurgery is a specialized branch of cancer surgery, wherein malignancy arising from the mouth, throat, voice box, neck, face, nose and paranasal air sinuses, nasopharynx, skull base, ear canal and temporal bone, parotid and other salivary glands, thyroid and parathyroid glands, bones nerves and blood vessels of the neck, and skin of the head-neck area, including melanoma, are treated.

The super-specialty branch of has grown in importance because of two main reasons. 1. Head Neck Cancers usually, (but not always) arise due to tobacco and alcohol addiction, which is extremely common in our country from a very young age. As such, the affected patients are economically productive, young people who are in the prime of their lives. 2. These cancers arise from critical areas that affect talking, chewing, swallowing, voice, breathing and appearance, hence affecting the activities of daily living and quality of life. It takes great skill to remove the disease while maintaining near-normal functioning of vital systems of the body.

This highlights the need for a separate specialty, which can cater exclusively to cancers of the Head- Neck region. Our treatment philosophy is based on multi-disciplinary team approach emphasizing organ preservation and restoration of form and function by advanced reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitative services.
