![]() That can relieve some of the stress that people get from the diagnosis of oral cancer but learning what to expect from oral cancer surgery can remove more of the fear. Types of Oral Cancer SurgeryThere are many different types of surgery when it comes to cancer treatment. The type of surgery depends on how advanced the cancer is and where it is. A doctor can choose some of the following types of surgery for oral cancer.
Other types of surgery can help remove the tumors found in the neck, the larynx and the hard palate. After the Surgery Almost all the surgeries will work to remove any cancerous tumors that are found. That can lead to a need for some form of reconstructive surgery. Soft tissue skin grafts and bone grafts can help promote the growth of new tissue and bone to replace anything that the surgery took away. The goal of any surgery for oral cancer is to remove the threat of cancer first and then repair the damage the cancer caused. It can happen with some time and patience.
