What a head and neck surgeon does
The head and neck surgeon plans and performs the total laryngectomy. This often includes removing nearby lymph nodes (a neck dissection), and sometimes fitting a voice prosthesis during the same operation.
After surgery, the surgeon keeps seeing you for regular check-ups, usually for at least five years, to watch your healing and look for any sign that the cancer has returned.
