Head & Neck Plastic Surgery, Otolaryngology

3 Cooper Plaza, Camden, NJ

856-342-3113

Dr. Thomas Spalla is a specialist in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) and head & neck plastic surgery. He works in Camden, NJ. He graduated from Ohio State University College of Medicine.

"I wish I had researched my options more thoroughly before I trusted Dr. Spalla. He made the septoplasty procedure sound simpler and a lot less risky than it was. Spreader grafts were added to widen my airway and I was promised that this would not significantly change my appearance. This was a big concern of mine since I had no issues with my natural appearance and was having this surgery 100% for a breathing issue. Dr. Spalla told me that he had operated on features "a lot more delicate than mine". In hindsight, I should have seen this arrogance as a red flag. I had a terrible result with the grafts moving out of place which cause my nose to turn so one side was closing and the symmetry was extremely skewed up and to one side. I required a second surgery (surgeries on the nose are NOT easy, don't ever let any ENT tell you otherwise). I had to see multiple other doctors for a second opinion to find out what was wrong since Dr. Spalla was not forthcoming with me about what the issue was or even acknowledging there was a problem. Three other doctors I saw for second opinions told me they saw a problem as soon as I walked through the door, and one even told me this was grounds for a law suit. It was a very, very challenging experience overall that I would not wish on anyone else. Lastly, Dr. Spalla tried to blame me for his error saying that I had bumped my nose after the surgery. The other doctors I saw assured me that nothing I could have possibly done would have caused the result I had. Do not trust this doctor with your health or appearance."

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.
