To the patients with advanced tumors, simultaneously with the tumors removal, we perform the reconstructive stage, which helps with the shortening of the time – terms of the patients’ rehabilitation, as well as to the early recovery of independent respiration, speech, swallowing act. We use different types of plastic reconstructive surgery. We perform single – stage and deferred installation of voice prosthesis, rehabilitation of the patients after the larynx removal, maxillofacial prosthesis.
The patients, who undergo the post – surgical chemotherapy or radiotherapy, are followed up. On patient’s will, we organize specialized treatment abroad. To each patient – individual approach.
