Description

The Department of Otolaryngology (Ear Nose and Throat) at the Candiolo Cancer Institute specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of neoplastic diseases of the head and neck, emphasizing minimally invasive techniques and integration into multidisciplinary care pathways.

Advanced Surgical and Diagnostic Approaches

Otolaryngology specialists employ minimally invasive surgical techniques to reduce hospital stay, postoperative pain, and complications, promoting faster recovery. Surgical and diagnostic procedures include:

Diagnosis of tumors of the nasolabial region, oral cavity, pharynx, neck, and endocrine glands (thyroid, parathyroid, salivary glands), using fiberoptic and high-definition endoscopic systems (3D/4K)
Minimally invasive head and neck surgery, including endoscopic and laser-assisted procedures
Robotic surgery for complex head and neck tumors
Reconstructive surgery, using revascularized free flaps and pedicled flaps to restore form and function
Oral disease management in cancer patients, including remediation prior to radiation therapy, high-dose chemotherapy, or bisphosphonate therapy
Post-surgical speech rehabilitation, addressing speech and communication disorders, oral functional impairments, and swallowing difficulties

Pathologies Treated

The department treats the following conditions:

Head and neck cancers, including oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nose and sinuses, salivary glands, skin cancers of the cervicofacial region
Thyroid and parathyroid cancers
