Nordwest Clinic (Krankenhaus)
Germany, Frankfurt am Main
Clinic is certified :
In Nordwest Clinic physicians perform tongue cancer surgery in the Oncology Department. The procedure is carried out by a team of doctors in 1-4 hours. A patient stays under general anesthesia. Hospitalization length depends on operation complexity and may last up to 2 weeks.
Onco-surgeons also perform tongue reconstruction procedures for treatment of cancer. In cases when a major part of tongue or neck was resected, physicians utilize grafts. Those are muscle and skin tissues taken from other parts of the patient’s body. This allows to preserve functioning and esthetic look of the tongue.
