Expert surgical excision of lip, hard palate, and soft palate malignancies. We ensure complete oncological clearance paired with advanced microvascular reconstruction to protect your smile, speech, and swallowing mechanisms.
A persistent sore, lump, or thickened area on the lip that bleeds or won't heal.
A painless or painful swelling on the roof of the mouth (hard or soft palate).
A change in voice resonance or difficulty speaking clearly due to soft palate issues.
Upper dentures suddenly feeling loose or uncomfortable due to a mass on the palate.
Cancers in these areas require extreme precision. Dr. Tiwari utilizes advanced oncological protocols to remove the tumor while utilizing plastic surgery techniques to restore function.
Excision of the lip tumor (Wedge excision). The defect is immediately reconstructed using local advancement flaps (e.g., Karapandzic or Abbe-Estlander flaps) to maintain the shape and function of the mouth.
Tumors on the roof of the mouth often invade the upper jaw bone. A partial or total Maxillectomy removes the diseased bone to ensure cancer eradication.
The soft palate controls speech resonance and swallowing. Tumors here require delicate resection followed by complex soft-tissue reconstruction to restore the velopharyngeal mechanism.
A highly structured approach ensuring no cancer cells are left behind, paired with world-class reconstructive techniques.
Meticulous surgical removal of the tumor with a 1cm to 1.5cm safety margin around the lip, or bony margins along the palate.
Advanced cancers of the lip or palate can spread to the neck. Lymph nodes are selectively cleared to prevent systemic metastasis.
Using local tissue flaps for the lip, or sophisticated Microvascular Free Flaps (like the Radial Forearm Flap) to seamlessly rebuild the palate and close nasal communications.
Understanding the depth of the tumor is crucial for planning the resection.
We ensure you regain the ability to smile, speak clearly, and eat comfortably.
