Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov)
Dan Fliss
At Sourasky Medical Center doctors carry out tongue cancer surgery in the General Oncology Department. The Hospital specializes in cancer treatment. The oncologists participate in science activities, develop new surgical techniques and managing methods. Surgeons also perform tongue reconstruction procedures for treatment of cancer. During such operations, physicians use patients’ grafts (parts of skin and muscle tissue) to rebuild their throats.
Some people may experience difficulties with swallowing or talking. Specialists work with patients to help them adapt to their new condition after the operation.
