Head and Neck Surgery

Head and neck surgery is a specialized branch of medicine also known as otolaryngology. This concentrated practice focuses on lumps in the neck, oral cavities, pharynx/larynx disorders, sores or lesions in the mouth, thyroid nodules and upper aerodigestive cancers.

Michael David Most, M.D., F.A.C.S., one of the country's leading head and neck oncologic and microvascular reconstructive surgeons, is part of Allied Surgical Group's skilled medical team. Dr. Most and his colleagues provide comprehensive surgical care by utilizing cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedures for a variety of head and neck issues including:

Benign Head & Neck Disease

Endocrine Disorders

Head & Neck Reconstruction

Salivary Gland Disease

Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancers

Dr. Most is nationally known as the first surgeon to perform transoral robotic surgery in New Jersey, which was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a successful, minimally invasive surgical approach to treat benign and certain malignant tumors in the mouth, tongue, larynx and pharynx.

Utilizing a product called the da Vinci® Surgical System, Dr. Most has extended dexterity, precision and control during these delicate procedures, while maintaining the look and feel of open surgery. This groundbreaking surgical procedure provides many patient-friendly benefits in both the short and long term, including:

Decreased chance of visible scarring

Less probability of post-operative infection

Minimized risk of disfigurement

Quicker healing time

Shorter hospital stay

Eliminating external incisions

Our surgical team, through ongoing research, education and utilization of specialized techniques to provide better outcomes, is committed to fully restoring a patient's anatomical and functional problems that may be present as a result of a head and neck disorder.
