I didnt had the tongue replacement, just the removal of about 2x3 cm with primmary closure.
The thing that bothered me a lot was the NG tube 1 week after surgery. The neck dissection for me was a piece of cake.
Hope everything runs ok and keep us informed!
December, 2011 - T1N0M0 SSC Oral Tongue sugery (Dec 07, 2011). Partial glossectomy, primary closure. Selective Neck dissection, all 57 nodes free. 29 at diagnosis, no risk factors at all. No smoking, drinking and HPV negative. Can you explain? I can't.
