Hemiglossectomy Cost at University Hospital Dusseldorf

Hemiglossectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the diseased portion or entire tongue.

During Hemiglossectomy, the surgeon makes an incision under the lower jaw on the affected side which may be extended to the chin and lower lip. Afterward, the surgeon removes the tumor and surrounding affected tissues. In some cases, the surgeon may perform tongue resection surgery depending on the tumor size and location. It is performed under general anesthesia.
