I didn't have this type surgery, but It's pretty common now having a tonsillectomy with TORS, with HPV, at places that are experienced, and have equipment to do them, as well as the patient qualifications, followed by a neck dissection, then radiation, and chemo possibly, based upon the pathology of surgery. I'm not familiar with the cancer center, but see they have a tumor board, and most likely have a multi team approach. I've seen reports with better outcome, shorter hospital stays, deescalation of radiation, reduced peg need and duration with this type surgery first, followed by radiation. All surgeries have risks. Good luck
