Oncological Surgery & Microvascular Reconstruction for Oral Cancer
Surgery is the primary treatment for oral cavity cancers. The main goals are complete tumor removal with clear margins (R0 resection) and restoring oral functions. Dr. Saikat Saha specializes in advanced microvascular free flap reconstructions, transferring tissue from the leg or thigh to rebuild the tongue or jaw during the same surgical session.

Surgical & Therapeutic Treatments
