Comprehensive Surgical Care for Jaw Malignancies
For patients diagnosed with advanced oral cancer, the surgical removal of the affected bone—Mandibulectomy (lower jaw) or Maxillectomy (upper jaw)—is often the most effective path to a cure. These procedures require a high level of oncological expertise and surgical precision. Dr. Abhishek Das provides a compassionate, world-class surgical environment for patients in Varanasi undergoing these life-altering procedures.
When is this Surgery Necessary?
When a tumor has invaded the bone of the jaw, chemotherapy or radiation alone is rarely sufficient. Surgical "clearance" is required to ensure the cancer is completely removed from the body.
1. Marginal Mandibulectomy: Removing a portion of the jaw while keeping the continuity of the bone intact.
2. Segmental Mandibulectomy: Removing a full segment of the jaw when the cancer has deeply penetrated the bone.
3. Maxillectomy: Removal of the upper jaw, which may involve the floor of the eye or the sinus cavity.
A Multidisciplinary Approach in Varanasi
At the clinic of Dr. Abhishek Das, we don't just treat the disease; we treat the person. We understand the anxiety associated with losing a part of the face. Our approach involves:
1. Pre-Surgical Mapping: Using 3D CT scans to plan the exact margins of the surgery.
2. Oncological Safety: Prioritizing the removal of the tumor with "clear margins" to minimize the risk of recurrence.
3. Simultaneous Planning: We plan for the reconstruction (replacing the bone) at the same time we plan the removal.
