What is head and neck surgery?

Head and neck surgery focuses on treating conditions that affect the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the head and neck, the skin and soft tissues, as well as the upper digestive system. This care includes both non-cancerous and cancer-related conditions that may require specialised surgical treatment.

Our surgeons support people with thyroid and parathyroid disorders, head and neck tumours, advanced skin cancers (throughout the body), and soft tissue sarcomas, with careful planning and a strong focus on safety, function and long-term wellbeing.

When you might need to see a head and neck surgeon

You may be referred to a  head and neck surgeon if surgery is recommended to treat a condition affecting the head, neck or upper digestive tract.

A specialist surgical review may be appropriate if you:

  • Have thyroid or parathyroid disorders that require surgery
  • Have head and neck tumours including oral cavity and jaw tumours
  • Have advanced skin cancers, including melanoma
  • Have soft tissue tumours or sarcoma
  • Have salivary gland conditions including the parotid and submandibular glands
  • Need reconstructive surgery as part of, or following treatment for head and neck cancer
