Head and neck surgeries encompass a wide range of procedures aimed at treating various conditions affecting the head, neck, face, and related structures. These surgeries are performed by skilled surgeons specializing in otolaryngology (ENT), neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and other related disciplines.

Head and neck surgery is a broad field encompassing procedures on various parts of the head and neck, including the thyroid, parathyroid, salivary glands, mouth, throat, nose, sinuses, and skin. Surgeries can be categorized into two main areas:

• Cancerous: Aimed at removing tumors and potentially affected lymph nodes.
• Reconstructive: Focused on restoring function and appearance after surgery or due to congenital conditions.

Below are some common types of head and neck surgeries:

1. Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: This minimally invasive procedure is performed to treat chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and other sinus-related issues. Surgeons use an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached, to visualize and access the sinus cavities, allowing for precise removal of diseased tissue and restoration of proper sinus function.
2. Thyroid Surgery: This can involve removing all or part of the thyroid gland, depending on the condition. Common surgeries include Thyroidectomy and Partial Thyroidectomy. A thyroidectomy involves the surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland. This procedure may be necessary to treat thyroid cancer, benign thyroid nodules, or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Depending on the condition, the surgeon may perform a total thyroidectomy (removal of the entire gland) or a partial thyroidectomy (removal of a portion of the gland).
3. Parathyroid Surgery: This focuses on the parathyroid glands, which regulate calcium levels in the body, including procedures Parathyroidectomy. It is a surgical procedure to remove one or more of the parathyroid glands, which are located behind the thyroid gland. This surgery is typically performed to treat hyperparathyroidism, a condition characterized by overactive parathyroid glands that produce excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone (PTH), leading to elevated calcium levels in the blood.
4. Salivary Gland Surgery: Such surgeries address issues with the salivary glands, which produce saliva. Surgeries include:
   • Parotidectomy: Removal of the parotid gland, the largest salivary gland
   • Submandibular gland excision: Removal of the submandibular gland, located under the jaw
5. Skin Cancer Surgery: Doctors perform skin care surgeries to remove various forms of skin cancer on the head and neck. This can involve Mohs surgery, a specialized technique for precise tumor removal.
6. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Such surgical procedures deal with the mouth, jaw, and facial structures. Procedures include:
   • Wisdom tooth extraction
   • Jaw surgery to correct misalignment
   • Cleft lip and palate repair
7. Craniofacial Reconstruction: This is a complex surgical procedure performed to repair congenital anomalies, traumatic injuries, or defects in the skull and facial bones. Surgeons use a combination of techniques, including bone grafting, tissue flaps, and facial implants, to restore normal appearance and function to the affected area.
8. Neck Dissection: Neck dissection is a surgical procedure performed to remove lymph nodes and surrounding tissues in the neck. This procedure is commonly used in the treatment of head and neck cancers to prevent the spread of cancerous cells to nearby lymph nodes. The extent of the neck dissection depends on factors such as the location and stage of the cancer.
9. Reconstructive Surgery: These surgeries may be performed after cancer surgery, trauma, or birth defects. Techniques include:
   • Skin grafts: This procedure involves using healthy skin from another area to cover a wound
   • Flap surgery: This entails the transfer of tissue with its own blood supply to reconstruct an area.
10. Laryngectomy: Laryngectomy involves the surgical removal of the larynx (voice box) to treat conditions such as laryngeal cancer. Depending on the extent of the disease, the surgeon may perform a total laryngectomy (removal of the entire larynx) or a partial laryngectomy (removal of a portion of the larynx). Laryngectomy can also involve creating a permanent opening in the neck (tracheostomy) for breathing. Following surgery, patients may undergo voice rehabilitation to learn alternative methods of communication.
11. Skull Base Surgery: Skull base surgery involves the delicate removal of tumors, lesions, or abnormalities located at the base of the skull, near critical structures such as the brain, nerves, and blood vessels. Advanced techniques such as endoscopic-assisted surgery and computer-guided navigation allow for precise access and removal of pathology while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
