Head and Neck Cancers

At DuggalENT Dr. Duggal removes tumors of the voice box and skull base through endoscopic surgery. During this procedure, the physician inserts an endoscope – a thin tube equipped with a tiny light and miniature video camera – into your body through a natural opening, such as your nose or throat, for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Your physician can then view the images captured by the endoscope on a video monitor. Endoscopic surgery is minimally invasive. DuggalENT specializes in endoscopic surgery of cancers of nose, sinuses, skull base and throat leaving no visible sign of surgery.
