Transoral Laser Microsurgery in Ahmedabad
Precise, Minimally Invasive Treatment for Early Head & Neck Cancers
What is Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLM)?
Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLM) is a minimally invasive technique where the surgeon removes tumors of the throat or voice box through the mouth using a high-precision laser. No external cuts, no visible scars, and significantly less tissue damage. Dr Bhavin is expert in performing Transoral Laser Microsurgery in Ahmedabad
Modern TLM allows extremely accurate tumor removal while preserving speech, swallowing, and normal breathing making it a preferred option for early cancers of the larynx, oropharynx, and oral cavity.
When is Transoral Laser Microsurgery Needed?
TLM is commonly recommended in the following situations:
Early Laryngeal (Voice Box) Cancers
Ideal for small, localized tumors where the goal is to save the natural voice and avoid open surgery.
Pre-Cancerous or Suspicious Growths
Helps remove lesions before they progress into invasive cancer.
Selected Throat or Tonsil Tumors
Used when cancers can be reached through the mouth without external incisions.
Recurrent Tumors After Radiation
TLM is often used for salvage procedures when small tumors return after previous treatment.
What the Transoral Laser Microsurgery Involves?
TLM is done entirely through the mouth. A special operating microscope and laser allow the surgeon to see and remove the tumor with extreme accuracy. Because no skin cuts are made, the natural structures of the neck remain untouched, and healing is much faster.
During the procedure, only the affected tissue is targeted. The laser seals small blood vessels as it works, reducing bleeding, discomfort, and recovery time. Most patients can talk and swallow much sooner than with traditional surgery.
A detailed throat examination and scans are done to map the exact size and depth of the tumor.
The tumor is removed layer by layer using a laser under high-magnification control.
Patients begin speaking and swallowing earlier, with minimal post-surgery discomfort.
