Head and Neck Cancer Reconstruction

Restoring function, aesthetics, and confidence after cancer treatment requires expert surgical care. Miss Mughal, an experienced reconstructive surgeon, specializes in advanced head and neck cancer reconstruction, helping patients regain both form and function after life-changing procedures.

Reconstructive Procedures

Miss Mughal’s primary NHS practice focuses on complex head and neck cancer reconstruction, ensuring patients receive the highest standard of care. Soft tissue reconstruction is essential for replacing lost tissue, preserving function, and restoring appearance after cancer surgery.

Reconstruction may be required following

  • Laryngectomy – Removal of the voice box
  • Tongue Resection – Partial or full removal of the tongue
  • Intraoral Tumour Removal – Removal of tumours inside the mouth
  • Mandible Removal – Reconstruction after removal of part or all of the lower jaw
  • Large Tumour Excision – Restoring lost tissue after removal of extensive head or neck tumours

    • How Reconstruction Works

    Each case is unique, requiring a highly customized surgical approach. In most instances, free tissue transfer (microsurgical reconstruction) is performed. This involves:

  • Harvesting healthy tissue from another part of the body
  • Reshaping and sculpting the tissue to match the defect
  • Reconnecting tiny blood vessels under a microscope to ensure proper blood supply
    • Miss Mughal will discuss your personalized reconstruction plan in detail at your consultation, ensuring the best possible outcome for function and appearance.

    Additional Corrective Procedures

    Following primary cancer reconstruction, further procedures may be needed to refine aesthetics, improve symmetry, or enhance function. These include:
  • Scar Release Surgery – Minimizing tightness and improving mobility
  • Facial Nerve Reconstruction – Restoring facial movement and expression
  • Symmetrizing Procedures – Balancing facial features for a more harmonious look
  • Fat Grafting or Tissue Thinning – To improve contour and achieve a more natural appearance
  • Secondary Reconstruction for Radiation Damage – Addressing long-term effects of radiation therapy

    • Head and neck cancer reconstruction is complex, requiring a team-based approach. Miss Mughal collaborates closely with head and neck cancer surgeons to develop a comprehensive surgical plan tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring the best functional and aesthetic outcomes.
