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.
