Evolution in Head and Neck Surgery

Head and neck surgery is a diverse regional subspecialty, whose central focus is treatment of oncologic disorders of the neck. "Neck dissection is relevant to treatment of such disorders as squamous cell cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, tongue cancer, laryngeal cancer, thyroid cancer, salivary gland cancer, and skin cancers of the head/neck region, including melanoma," explained William I. Kuhel, MD, the Director of the Head and Neck Service, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and Associate Professor of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology at Weill Cornell Medical School.

Get an experienced doctor for MRND! I don't regret the surgery, but I do regret IMRT!!! 7 years later I'm still suffering from Xerostomia. I can't sleep through the night, going anywhere without a glass of water, or even shop at your favorite stores (those that don't allow drinks, especially on hot days when you can't even return to the car for a sip)! Before IMRT consider taking a sip of water every 5 minutes for a week and waking up every hour or two at night for a sip. It changes your life!
