Glossectomy

Glossectomy

A glossectomy is a surgical procedure involving the partial or complete removal of the tongue. This intricate surgery is typically conducted to treat severe cases of tongue cancer, traumatic injuries, or rare conditions affecting the tongue's function. The extent of the glossectomy varies depending on the location and spread of the disease. In cases of malignancy, the surgery might involve the removal of a segment or the entire tongue to prevent the cancer from spreading further. Post-glossectomy, patients often undergo extensive rehabilitation to relearn speech, swallowing, and chewing. Speech therapy is crucial to help individuals adapt to the changes in tongue structure, enabling them to articulate sounds and communicate effectively. Rehabilitation might involve various exercises and techniques aimed at restoring oral functions and enhancing quality of life. While a glossectomy is a life-altering procedure that can impact speech and eating abilities, advancements in surgical techniques and rehabilitation have improved outcomes. Depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual's response to therapy, many patients can regain some level of oral function and lead fulfilling lives with proper support and care. It remains a complex procedure necessitating a multidisciplinary approach involving surgeons, speech therapists, and other healthcare professionals to optimize recovery and patient outcomes.
