Medical Center in Solingen
Ralf Buhl
At Solingen Medical Center physicians perform tongue cancer surgery in the Oncology Department. Procedure duration is 1-4 hours. Length of intervention depends on tumor location and cancer stage. Hospitalization period is up to 2 weeks. Minor tumor resections allow patients to leave the Hospital right after the procedure.
Surgeons carry out tongue reconstruction procedures for treatment of cancer to preserve patient’s quality of life. A special doctor works with patients after the operation to make sure they don’t have difficulties swallowing or talking.
