Innovative Approaches to Complex Head & Neck Surgery

Head and Neck surgery involves a range of complex and critical procedures to treat conditions that affect the skull base, craniofacial region, oral and maxillofacial areas, and the neck. These surgeries are often life-saving and life-changing for patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer, abnormalities and many other serious conditions.

At Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, we are at the very forefront of head and neck surgery innovation and technology. Coupled with our vast expertise within the field, we are able to offer the latest, innovative procedures that are improving outcomes for patients. This includes:
