Get Treated with the Best Robotic Head and Neck Cancer Surgeon in India
What is Robotic Head & Neck Cancer?
Robotic head and neck cancer surgery is a less invasive procedure that provides doctors with the use of robotic technology – most preferred, da Vinci Surgical System – to cure cancers in hard-to-reach areas such as the throat, voice box (larynx), tonsils, tongue base, and mouth.
This technique gives surgeons an increased opportunity to operate with more precision, flexibility, and 3D visualization, particularly important for difficult-to-access spaces when it comes to traditional open surgery.
Your Guide to Head & Neck Cancer
There are several factors that are known for the causes of most Head and Neck Cancers.
– Tobacco use (smoking and chewing)
– Excessive alcohol consumption
– Poor oral hygiene
– Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection – especially linked to oropharyngeal cancers
Symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumor but may include :
– Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
– Chronic ear pain or hearing changes
– Voice changes or difficulty speaking
– Persistent sore throat
Accurate diagnosis involves several steps:
– Medical history & physical examination: It involves examination of the oral cavity, throat, and neck for lumps and lesions.
– Endoscopy: A narrow and flexible tube with a camera is applied to see the internal structures of the nose, throat or voice box.
– Biopsy: A tiny sample of tissue is collected from the suspected region and placed under a microscope.
– Imaging Tests: CT scan, MRI, PET scan or X-rays to find the position, the size of the tumor and its spreading.
– HPV and EBV testing: Performed in case some viral diseases are suspected to cause the problem.
– Blood Tests: To monitor general health and organ functioning prior to the treatment.

Commonly Asked Questions
Robotic surgery offers:
– No external cuts and obvious scars.
– Improved preservation of speech and swallowing.
– Reduced blood loss and pain
– Small hospital stay and faster recovery
– Increased accuracy of surgical operation and tumor extraction.
For selected cases, yes. Robotic surgery is less invasive and less damaging to the tissues, helping the patients recover faster. However, the decision is based on the size and location of the tumor and its stages.
Yes, it is a procedure that is proven and safe if it is conducted by experienced robotic surgeons. The precision of the surgeon is increased through the use of the robotic system, but it does not perform independently of the surgeon.
Based on the final pathology, some patients may require radiation or chemotherapy after the surgery to cover for total treatment, even in more advanced cancers.
