About Palatal Tumor Removal

Palatal tumor removal is a specialized dental surgery procedure performed to excise abnormal growths or lesions from the hard or soft palate, the roof of the mouth. This surgery is critical for diagnosing and treating both benign and malignant tumors, such as pleomorphic adenomas, squamous cell carcinomas, or minor salivary gland tumors. The procedure is typically performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon under local or general anesthesia, depending on the tumor's size and location. It involves precise surgical excision to remove the tumor while preserving surrounding healthy tissue and function. Post-operative care focuses on healing, restoring normal speech and swallowing, and preventing recurrence. This intervention is essential for oral health, cancer management, and improving a patient's quality of life.

Key Highlights

Rohan, a 7-year-old from an affluent family, presented with severe dental trauma after a bicycle accident. Dr. Kumar performed emergency stabilization of multiple avulsed teeth using advanced splinting techniques. The child required weekly follow-ups for 3 months and eventually regained full dental function with minimal aesthetic impact, much to his parents' relief.
