In this insightful conversation, Dr. Rajnish Talwar and Dr. Surya explore the nuanced decision-making process behind reconstruction following wide local excision of T1/T2 tongue cancers. Should the defect be closed primarily, left raw for secondary healing, or reconstructed using a flap? Together, they delve into: – Key anatomical and oncological factors guiding the choice of closure – Pros and cons of primary closure vs. healing by secondary intention – When to consider local or regional flaps – Risk of bleeding, speech and swallowing outcomes, and long-term morbidity An essential discussion for surgeons seeking clarity on functional and oncological reconstruction of the tongue. 🔖 Hashtags #TongueCancer #HeadNeckSurgery #OralCancer #OncologyPodcast #SurgicalOncology #TongueReconstruction #ENTsurgery #FlapReconstruction #T1T2Cancer #ReconstructiveSurgery #WideLocalExcision #PrimaryClosure #HealingBySecondaryIntention #SurgeonsTalk #MedEd #CancerSurgery
