Advanced Laser Surgery for Tongue Lesions and Oral Cancer
Laser Surgery for Tongue is a specialized procedure used to treat selected lesions, abnormal growths, and cancers affecting the tongue. At Dr. Pareek’s Deafness Clinic and ENT Centre, experienced ENT and head & neck specialists use advanced laser technology for precise removal of affected tissue while aiming to preserve healthy surrounding structures and important tongue functions such as speech, swallowing, and movement.
Tongue lesions can range from benign conditions to potentially serious oral cancer. Persistent ulcers, unexplained lumps, changes in tongue appearance, pain, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing should be evaluated promptly by an experienced ENT and head & neck specialist.
