Laryngeal Cancer Surgery in Istanbul

Who this is for

Persistent hoarseness, a change in the voice that will not settle, difficulty swallowing or a biopsy that has confirmed a laryngeal tumour — these are the reasons patients come to this page. Early laryngeal cancers are often very treatable, which is why a voice change lasting more than a few weeks deserves examination.

What happens at the first visit

Prof. Dr. Hafız examines your voice box directly with a thin camera, reviews any biopsy and imaging you bring, and explains what he sees in plain words. If the diagnosis is already made, he walks you through the options for your exact tumour: laser surgery through the mouth, open surgery, or referral for treatments beyond surgery where they serve you better.

Preserving the voice

Where the tumour's size and position allow it, Prof. Dr. Hafız removes laryngeal tumours with transoral laser surgery: through the mouth, without external cuts, taking the tumour while sparing as much of the voice box as possible. Where more extensive surgery is needed, he explains exactly what will change and what help exists afterwards. The goal is stated at the first visit and pursued through the last: treat the cancer, keep as much voice as the disease allows.

If your voice has changed and stayed changed, if a tumour has been found, or if you are weighing options offered elsewhere, an examination here gives you a clear, experienced answer to plan around.
