Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, reconstructive surgery is an option to restore tongue and jawbone after cancer removal. In India, several skilled surgeons specialize in microvascular reconstruction, which is often used to rebuild these areas. It's crucial to consult with a head and neck surgeon and a reconstructive surgeon who can assess your uncle's specific case and recommend the best approach.

View allI'm planning to get a hair transplant but I live alone is it safe to go through the surgery by myself or should I arrange for someone to be there with me? I'm a bit worried about managing right after the procedure since I won't have help at home
You can manage alone, but having someone for the first 24–48 hours helps, especially for medications, food, and support. Arrange minimal chores post-op to avoid discomfort.
