Dr. Walter Moore practices otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) in Bismarck, ND. Dr. Moore is a graduate of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School.

"This is a poor excuse for a physician. After he performed deviated septum surgery on me he misdiagnosed an infection in my septum three weeks after surgery causing me to loose all my cartilage in my nose. I had to have my entire nose rebuilt with bone from my ribs. Two weeks after the deviated septum surgery and after removing the sutures and temporary implants I was pretty sure I had an infection due to the swelling and other symptoms so I questioned his diagnosis and treatment. He did not not want to listen to anything I had to say and ended the appointment by walking out and going to his office. One week later I had to be emergency evacuated back home from Spain and was admitted to a hospital for emergency surgery to clear the infection from my septum. Terrible bedside manner and rude as well."

What is Head and Neck Surgery?

Head and neck surgery is a subspecialty that provides advanced surgical care for the head, face, neck, and throat. Most head and neck surgeons begin their careers as otolaryngologists (ENTs) or plastic surgeons, but becoming certified as a head and neck surgeon requires additional training.

A surgeon who treats the head and neck has very specific considerations to take into account when operating. The delicate structures of the head and neck control our senses, our speech, our ability to chew and swallow food, and even our ability to breathe. A head and neck surgeon has to be careful to preserve the many functions of the head and neck when performing an operation. Also, when operating on or around the face, extreme care must be taken to leave as few scars as possible, since the face is a critical part of identity and social interaction. It all adds up to a tricky job.

Some of the issues a head and neck surgeon might treat include:

Cancer
Trauma to the face or neck
Thyroid disorders requiring surgery
Sinus surgery
Tonsillectomies / adenoidectomies
Cleft palate repair
Disorders of the larynx (voice box)

Cancers, especially of the esophagus, mouth, lips, and skin around the face or throat, are one of the most common issues requiring head or neck surgery. Most often, head and neck cancers are related to tobacco use. Chewing tobacco in particular affects the lips and mouth. Other risk factors for head and neck cancers include alcohol use and sun exposure.

Often after surgery, but particularly after the removal of a tumor, head and neck surgeons will perform reconstructive surgery, including microvascular surgery to connect or replace skin tissue. The goal is to restore not only a patient's function but also their appearance in this critical area of the body, improving self-esteem.
