Minimally Invasive Commando Surgeries
What is Minimally Invasive Commando Surgery?
Minimally Invasive Commando Surgery is a refined version of the traditional “Commando” cancer operation used for oral and jaw-based cancers. Instead of large cuts on the neck or face, this approach uses smaller incisions or endoscopic access to remove cancer, lymph nodes, and involved tissues.
Modern instruments, magnification systems, and precision reconstruction help reduce scarring, discomfort, and recovery time while still ensuring thorough cancer clearance.
When is it Needed?
Used in the following situations where cancer needs complete removal with minimal external trauma.
Early to Moderately Advanced Oral Cancers
Where the tumor can be accessed and removed safely without needing large facial incisions.
Jaw (Mandible) Involvement Requiring Reconstruction
Modern tools allow removal of affected bone while reducing the size of incisions.
Tongue, Buccal Mucosa & Floor of Mouth Cancers
Suitable when cancer lies deep but can be approached through minimally invasive angles.
Neck Node Removal Without Large Neck Scars
Endoscopic or small-incision techniques are used to clear lymph nodes effectively.
What the Surgery Involves?
Minimally Invasive Commando Surgery involves removing the cancer from the mouth or jaw along with affected lymph nodes through smaller, more precise incisions. This results in less tissue damage and better cosmetic and functional outcomes.
Reconstruction is done using grafts or flaps tailored to restore oral function, chewing, speaking, and appearance. The goal is simple-complete cancer removal while ensuring patients return to daily life with confidence.
Detailed scans and planning help surgeons remove cancer through the smallest and safest possible access routes.
The cancer and lymph nodes are removed carefully using minimally invasive cameras and instruments.
Tissue reconstruction is performed to maintain appearance, swallowing, and speech, ensuring a balanced recovery.
