Specialty Interests

Dr Dushyant Mandlik performs cancer resections and functional facial reconstructions across the following clinical areas:

Mouth, Cheek, and Jaw Cancer Surgery

Dr Dushyant performs surgical operations to remove cancerous tumors inside the mouth, cheeks, tongue, and gums (gingivobuccal cancers). He conducts partial and complete surgeries for jawbone tumors (mandibulectomy and maxillectomy) and performs 3D microvascular facial reconstruction, helping patients maintain clear speech, normal swallowing, and natural face symmetry after tumor removal.

Robotic Surgery and Throat Cancer Care

Dr D Mandlik removes deep tumors inside the throat, tonsils, and vocal box using minimally invasive Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) without external facial skin incisions. He coordinates partial and total voice box removal operations (laryngectomy) for persistent laryngeal cancers, guiding specialized swallowing and talking speech therapy during recovery.

Thyroid, Parathyroid, and Salivary Gland Oncology

Dr Mandlik operates on malignant lumps and growths affecting the thyroid and parathyroid glands in the neck. He removes tumors from major salivary glands (parotids) while preserving the delicate facial nerves that control smile and facial expressions, and clears swollen cancerous lymph nodes from surrounding neck tissues to prevent disease recurrence.
