Surgery

While many people think of surgery as a frightening and dangerous undertaking, it is very often the best and most conservative mode of therapy doctors can provide. Additionally, it is always performed in a way that is designed to maximize patient benefit and minimize risk.

Doctor Caruana is always straightforward with patients about the risks inherent in surgery, but he works ceaselessly to manage those risks through study and planning, attention to detail and meticulousness.

Today, head and neck surgery is performed using a variety of techniques and technologies, many of which are fascinating and exciting, to say the least. Though many procedures still require standard, "open" techniques, others can now be performed with the use of endoscopes or guided by computers and microscopes.
