Jaw surgery for oral cancer · Hyderabad & Telangana

Mandibulectomy in Hyderabad

A mandibulectomy removes the part of the lower jawbone affected by an oral cancer. It sounds frightening — but two things matter most: often only a small rim of jaw needs removing, and where a segment is removed, the jaw is rebuilt so your face, your chewing and your speech are restored. Removal and reconstruction are planned together, by an experienced team, without judgement.

Understanding the surgery

What is a mandibulectomy?

A mandibulectomy is surgery to remove the part of the lower jawbone (the mandible) affected by an oral cancer — most often a cancer of the gum, the floor of the mouth, or a tongue or cheek cancer that has reached the bone. How much jaw is removed depends entirely on how far the cancer has reached: sometimes only the upper rim (a marginal mandibulectomy), sometimes a full segment (a segmental mandibulectomy), which is then rebuilt. The goal is to remove all the cancer while restoring how you look and function.

Oral cancer is common in our region, and chewing tobacco, gutka and areca nut are the leading causes — which also means it is often preventable, and, when found and treated, very treatable. There is no judgement here: what matters now is getting the cancer removed safely and getting you back to eating, speaking and living well. Your surgeon plans the operation and the reconstruction as one, so both are considered from the very start.

What a mandibulectomy sets out to do

Removes the affected jaw

Only the part of the lower jaw reached by the cancer is removed — the rim, or a segment — with a clear margin around it.

Rebuilds where needed

Where a segment is removed, the jaw is reconstructed so that the face, chewing and speech are restored.

Planned by a team

A head & neck tumour board with reconstructive, dental and speech teams plan your care together.

How much jaw is removed

Marginal vs segmental mandibulectomy

There are two main types, and which one you need depends on how deeply the cancer has reached the jawbone. In a marginal mandibulectomy, only the upper rim of the jaw is removed and the jaw stays in one continuous piece — used when the cancer is close to the bone but has not deeply invaded it. In a segmental mandibulectomy, a full-thickness segment is removed because the cancer has clearly invaded the bone — and the jaw is then rebuilt to restore its shape and function.

What it means for youLess bone removed, better jaw continuity — often a quicker recovery.More bone removed, but a rebuilt jaw designed to restore chewing, speech and appearance.

Which one you need is decided from your scans and the surgeon's assessment — the least surgery that safely clears the cancer is always the aim. A second opinion from CION's head & neck team reviews it with you.

Diagnosis & staging

Tests that confirm the diagnosis and guide jaw surgery

Before any surgery, the cancer is confirmed and staged. A biopsy establishes whether it is cancer and its type, while an MRI and other scans show exactly how far it has reached the jawbone — which decides whether a marginal or a segmental mandibulectomy is needed, and how the jaw is rebuilt. Your team then agrees the plan with you.

Diagnostic services we offer — book any of these:

Oral exam & screening

A careful check of a non-healing mouth ulcer, a white or red patch, or restricted mouth opening — the first step to catching oral cancer early.

Oral cancer biopsy

A small tissue sample that confirms whether it is cancer and its type — the definitive test before any surgery is planned.

MRI of the mouth & jaw

Detailed imaging that shows how far the cancer has reached the jawbone — guiding marginal versus segmental surgery.

PET-CT staging scan

Whole-body imaging to check whether the cancer has spread and to stage it accurately before treatment.

Neck node assessment

Checking the lymph nodes in the neck, which guides whether a neck dissection is done alongside the jaw surgery.

Staging & tumour board

Your biopsy and scans reviewed together by surgical, reconstructive, radiation & medical oncologists.

The reassurance

Rebuilding the jaw — restoring your face, chewing & speech

This is the part that reassures most people: when a segment of jaw is removed, it can be rebuilt in the same operation. The most common way is a fibula free flap — a piece of the fibula (a non-essential leg bone) is shaped to recreate the jaw, with its own blood supply reconnected, so it becomes living bone that heals and can later hold dental implants. Where a flap is not needed, a reconstruction plate may be used. The result is designed to restore the shape of your face and your ability to chew and speak as fully as possible.

A piece of the fibula (leg bone) is shaped to rebuild the jaw — restoring the face, chewing and speech.

Living bone that lasts

A fibula free flap becomes living bone with its own blood supply, so it heals well and can later hold dental implants for chewing. Read more about free-flap reconstruction after oral cancer.

Planned with the removal

Reconstruction is planned before surgery and, where possible, done in the same operation — so you wake with the jaw already rebuilt and healing.

Microvascular free-flap jaw reconstruction is a specialised procedure; at CION it is planned and coordinated with reconstructive specialists as part of one head & neck plan, so removing the cancer and restoring your face and function are never treated as separate problems.

Treatment

Oral cancer treatments we deliver around your surgery

Jaw surgery is one part of a complete oral-cancer plan — CION delivers the whole pathway. That means the mandibulectomy itself, jaw reconstruction and dental rehabilitation to restore function, neck-node surgery where needed, and radiation, chemotherapy or immunotherapy when they are part of the plan. Every case is set by a head & neck tumour board for your stage.

Treatments we deliver — book a consult for any of these:

Mandibulectomy (jaw surgery)

Marginal (bone-preserving) or segmental removal of the affected jaw with a clear margin — the least surgery that safely clears the cancer.

Jaw reconstruction (free flap)

Rebuilding a removed segment, often with a fibula free flap, to restore the face, chewing and speech — coordinated with reconstructive specialists.

Neck dissection

Removing the lymph nodes in the neck when the cancer has, or may have, spread there — often done alongside jaw surgery.

Radiation therapy

Precisely targeted radiation used after surgery when needed. Oral-cancer radiation is generally Aarogyasri-covered.

Chemotherapy & immunotherapy

Medicines that treat cancer throughout the body, used for selected oral cancers as part of a combined plan.

Dental rehabilitation

Restoring chewing after healing — including implants a fibula flap can hold — so you can eat comfortably again.

Life after surgery

Eating, speaking & dental rehabilitation

Getting back to eating and speaking is a journey, and it is supported at every step. In the early weeks, food starts as liquids and soft textures, and some people need a temporary feeding tube while the mouth heals. Speech-and-swallow therapy helps retrain these muscles, and dental rehabilitation — including implants that a fibula flap can hold — restores chewing over time. Most people return to a normal or near-normal diet and to clear speech. Your team sets realistic expectations and walks the whole path with you.

Eating again, step by step

Food progresses from liquids to soft textures to a normal diet as the mouth heals. A dietitian guides you, and any temporary feeding tube is removed as you recover. Eating after surgery

Speech & swallow therapy

Therapists retrain the muscles used to speak and swallow, so clear speech and comfortable swallowing return over the weeks after surgery. Speech rehab

Dental rehabilitation

Once healing allows, dental rehabilitation — including implants that a reconstructed jaw can hold — restores comfortable chewing. Dental implants

Adjusting to jaw surgery is emotional as well as physical. CION's psycho-oncology counsellors support you and your family with appearance, identity and confidence — because these things matter, and should be talked about, not left unsaid.

What to expect & recovery

What to expect and recovery after a mandibulectomy

A mandibulectomy — especially with reconstruction — is a significant operation, but it follows a clear, well-supported path. Expect a hospital stay, sometimes with a temporary breathing (tracheostomy) or feeding tube to let the mouth rest and heal safely — both usually removed as you recover. Eating progresses from liquids to soft foods, speech-and-swallow therapy begins early, and dental rehabilitation follows once healing allows. Your team explains each step in advance, so you and your family know what to expect.
1

Before surgery

Scans plan exactly how much jaw is involved and how it will be rebuilt; dental and nutrition assessments prepare you.

2

The operation

The affected jaw is removed with a clear margin and, where needed, rebuilt in the same operation.

3

In hospital

A hospital stay to recover, sometimes with a temporary feeding or breathing tube while the mouth heals.

4

Speech & swallow

Eating starts with liquids and soft foods; speech-and-swallow therapy begins early to retrain the muscles.

5

Dental & follow-up

Chewing, speech and strength improve over the weeks; dental rehabilitation restores chewing over time.

Recovery after a mandibulectomy with reconstruction is measured in weeks to a few months, and improves steadily with therapy. Follow-up focuses on healing, on your eating and speech, and on making sure the cancer stays controlled — with support at every step.

Cost & coverage

Mandibulectomy cost in Hyderabad Indicative

The cost depends on how much jaw is removed and whether free-flap reconstruction is needed — a marginal mandibulectomy costs less than a segmental one with reconstruction. The reassuring part: this is treatment for oral cancer, so it is generally covered under Aarogyasri at empanelled centres, and by most health-insurance policies. Our team checks your scheme eligibility and policy, and gives you a clear, written estimate before anything is planned. These are estimates, not a quotation.

Fears answered

Common fears about jaw surgery — answered honestly

The deepest fears about a mandibulectomy are about losing your face, your speech and your ability to eat. Here are honest, respectful answers to the ones we hear most in Telangana — without judgement.

“Will I lose my face — will I still look like myself?”
Fact: Modern jaw reconstruction is designed to restore the shape of your face as closely as possible. When a segment is removed, it is rebuilt — most often with a fibula free flap — so most people look like themselves again after healing. The reconstruction is planned before surgery, alongside removing the cancer.
“Will I ever eat normally again?”
Fact: Most people return to a normal or near-normal diet. It is a journey — liquids and soft foods first, guided by a dietitian — and dental rehabilitation, including implants a reconstructed jaw can hold, restores chewing over time.
“Will I be able to speak after jaw surgery?”
Fact: Most people return to clear speech. Speech-and-swallow therapy retrains the muscles used to speak and swallow, and it begins early. Your team supports every step and sets realistic expectations with you.
“The tobacco or gutka was my fault — will they judge me?”
Fact: There is no judgement here. Oral cancer from tobacco, gutka and areca nut is common in our region; what matters now is treating it safely. Help to stop — at your own pace — is offered kindly, as support, never as blame.
“Will I have to live with a feeding tube forever?”
Fact: A feeding tube, if it is used at all, is usually temporary — to let the mouth rest and heal safely — and is removed as you recover. Most people return to eating by mouth. Not everyone needs one; it depends on the extent of surgery.
“Will I need a hole in my neck to breathe?”
Fact: Sometimes a temporary breathing (tracheostomy) tube is used after a bigger operation to keep you safe while swelling settles, and it is usually removed as you heal. Many people do not need one at all.
“Taking bone from my leg sounds dangerous — will I still walk?”
Fact: The fibula is a non-essential leg bone; a piece can be removed to rebuild the jaw and most people walk normally again after recovery. The leg is carefully assessed beforehand to make sure this is safe for you.
“Won't the surgery spread the cancer?”
Fact: This is a common, harmful myth. Removing the cancer with a clear margin under controlled surgical conditions does not spread it. What actually causes harm is delay, which lets a treatable cancer grow.

FAQ

Mandibulectomy in Hyderabad — frequently asked questions

What is a mandibulectomy?

A mandibulectomy is surgery to remove the part of the lower jawbone (the mandible) affected by an oral cancer. How much is removed depends on how far the cancer has reached the bone — sometimes only the upper rim (a marginal mandibulectomy), sometimes a full segment (a segmental mandibulectomy), which is then rebuilt. The goal is to remove all the cancer while restoring how you look and function.

What is the difference between marginal and segmental mandibulectomy?

In a marginal mandibulectomy, only the upper rim of the jaw is removed and the jaw stays in one continuous piece — used when the cancer is close to the bone but has not deeply invaded it. In a segmental mandibulectomy, a full-thickness segment is removed because the cancer has invaded the bone, and the jaw is then rebuilt, often with a fibula free flap.

Will I look normal after jaw surgery?

Modern jaw reconstruction is designed to restore the shape of your face as closely as possible. When a segment of jaw is removed, it is rebuilt — most often with a fibula free flap — so that most people look like themselves again after healing. Your team plans the reconstruction before surgery, alongside removing the cancer.

Will I be able to eat and speak again after a mandibulectomy?

Most people return to a normal or near-normal diet and to clear speech. It is a journey: food starts as liquids and soft textures, speech-and-swallow therapy retrains the muscles, and dental rehabilitation — including implants a reconstructed jaw can hold — restores chewing over time. Your team supports every step.

How is the jaw rebuilt after a mandibulectomy?

Most often with a fibula free flap — a piece of the fibula (a non-essential leg bone) is shaped to recreate the jaw, with its blood supply reconnected so it becomes living bone that heals and can later hold dental implants. Where a flap is not needed, a reconstruction plate may be used instead. This is planned with the removal, so both are considered together.

Will I need a feeding tube or a breathing tube?

Sometimes, temporarily. A temporary breathing (tracheostomy) or feeding tube may be used to let the mouth rest and heal safely after a bigger operation, and both are usually removed as you recover. Not everyone needs them — it depends on the extent of surgery, which your team explains beforehand.

How long is recovery after a mandibulectomy?

A mandibulectomy with reconstruction is a significant operation, so recovery is measured in weeks to a few months, starting with a hospital stay. Eating and speech improve gradually with therapy, and dental rehabilitation follows once healing allows. Your team sets realistic expectations and supports you throughout.

How much does a mandibulectomy cost in Hyderabad?

The cost depends on how much jaw is removed and whether free-flap reconstruction is needed. As an indicative guide, a marginal mandibulectomy starts around ₹1,20,000, while a segmental mandibulectomy with reconstruction can range higher, up to roughly ₹6,00,000, depending on the extent of surgery, hospital stay and treatment around it. These are indicative figures, not a quotation; CION gives a written estimate after assessment.

Is a mandibulectomy covered under Aarogyasri or insurance?

It is treatment for oral cancer, so eligible surgery — including reconstruction — is generally covered under Aarogyasri at empanelled centres and by most health-insurance policies. CION's counsellors help you check eligibility, arrange approvals and handle the paperwork, so cost is far less of a barrier than most families expect.

Is taking bone from my leg (fibula) safe — will I walk normally?

The fibula is a non-essential leg bone, and a piece of it can be removed to rebuild the jaw while most people walk normally again after recovery. The leg is carefully assessed beforehand to make sure this is safe for you, and a rehabilitation plan supports your recovery.

When is a mandibulectomy needed for oral cancer?

A mandibulectomy is considered when an oral cancer — of the gum, floor of the mouth, tongue or cheek — has reached or invaded the lower jawbone. Scans and the surgeon's assessment decide whether only the rim needs removing (marginal) or a full segment (segmental). The aim is always the least surgery that safely clears the cancer.

Will I need a neck dissection as well as jaw surgery?

Sometimes. If the cancer has spread, or may have spread, to the lymph nodes in the neck, a neck dissection to remove those nodes may be done alongside the jaw surgery. Whether it is needed is decided from your scans and node assessment, and your team explains this before surgery.

Will jaw surgery spread the cancer?

No. Removing the cancer with a clear margin under controlled surgical conditions does not spread it through the body — this is a common, harmful myth. What causes real harm is delay, which lets a treatable cancer grow. Surgery is one of the most effective ways to remove an oral cancer that has reached the jaw.

Which is the best hospital for a mandibulectomy in Hyderabad?

Look for a cancer centre with a head & neck surgical oncology team, multidisciplinary tumour-board planning, jaw reconstruction (coordinated with reconstructive specialists), and speech-and-swallow and dental rehabilitation. CION Cancer Clinics offers this across 35+ centres in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, with Aarogyasri and insurance counselling.

Will I need radiation or chemotherapy after the surgery?

Sometimes further treatment such as radiation, or chemotherapy, is added after surgery to give the best control — a planned part of care, not a sign the surgery failed. Whether it is needed depends on the stage and the findings from surgery, and it is decided by the head & neck tumour board.

Can the oral cancer come back after a mandibulectomy?

Removing the cancer with a clear margin gives the best chance of control, and for most people it stays controlled. Regular follow-up checks catch any change early, when further treatment works best. No surgery promises zero risk, but timely treatment and follow-up are how outcomes are protected.

Which doctor should I see for jaw surgery for oral cancer in Hyderabad?

See a head & neck surgical oncologist who treats oral cancer involving the jaw. At CION your case is reviewed by a team — surgical, reconstructive, radiation and medical oncologists together — so you get a coordinated plan for removal and reconstruction rather than a single-doctor decision. You can request a specific surgeon when booking.

How do I prepare for a mandibulectomy?

Your team completes pre-operative checks, reviews your medicines and fitness for anaesthesia, and plans the reconstruction and dental rehabilitation in advance. Stopping tobacco, gutka and areca nut — with kind support — and staying nourished beforehand can help recovery. You will be given clear instructions on fasting and which medicines to pause before surgery.
