Cancer of the cheek.
The combined skills of the micrographic surgeon and the head and neck surgeon offer excellent cure rates and reconstructive techniques for primary cutaneous tumors of the cheek. In most instances, structures crucial to facial function and appearance can be preserved or rehabilitated. This interspecialty approach to such tumors results in the best care for the patient and a high sense of professional satisfaction for the surgical team.
