For every operation be it of mild nature or severe, surgeons pay proper care. In cases where the complexities are exceptionally high, experts integrate the treatment program with a plan of palliative care to keep the results safe and successful. Here, at CUSP every unit has specialists in the lead, treatment but the scientifically advanced approaches primarily, the minimally invasive procedures and endoscopic head and neck surgery have proven to be advantageous with their minimised risk of side-effect and complications, a short stay at hospital, less scarring, less pain, and quick healing.for example for the treatment of nose and throat cancer in Delhi, we have specialised that unit with highly qualified surgeons.

No, every individual case of head and neck surgery is dealt differently in the rehabilitation program. It is contingent upon the type of cancer, the approach of treatment, and the general well-being of the patient.
