Sinonasal Malignancies
Sinonasal tumour of different pathological pedigree in sinus cavity and/or nasal cavity. It can be benign or malignant and affects both male and female. CT Scan and nasal tumour tissue biopsy are gold standard investigations.

Primary malignant tumors of the temporal bone have an estimated incidence of 0.8-1.0 per 1,000,000 inhabitants per year, and 60-80% of them are squamous cells carcinomas. Metastatic lesions in the temporal bone are very rare and usually originate from primary breast, lung, or kidney tumors. Carcinoma of the temporal bone is rare, accounting for fewer than 0.2% of all tumors of the head and neck. cancers arising from skin of the pinna that spread to the temporal bone; primary tumors of the external auditory canal (EAC), middle ear, mastoid, or petrous apex; and metastatic lesions to the temporal bone...Read More
Plastic Reconstruction with stress on Microvascular Reconstruction
Plastic surgery has changed the treatment standard of head and neck cancers. It allows for the treatment of cancers that were previously considered hopeless. The cancers of head and neck region usually lead to massive anatomical defects. These defects may involve skin subcutaneous tissue, bone and other parts like nose, tongue, or throat, in varying combinations affecting various important functions like swallowing, speaking and breathing. Plastic surgeons reconstruct these complex defects using tissues from another area of patient’s body, eg. thigh, abdomen, forearm or lower leg. Through plastic surgery procedures, structural and functional restoration of human body parts could be achieved...Read More
