Otology and Neurotology

Jefferson, Memphis, TN 38104

acoustic neuroma

Dr. Kareem Tawfik is a specialist in otology and neurotology. He works in Nashville, TN and Memphis, TN. He attended New York University (NYU) School of Medicine.

"Over several months and multiple visits he ignored my concerns, told me everything I had going on was "normal". Said I would have to learn to live with the way I felt. Didn't even notate in my chart the concerns and symptoms I was having. Drove to another state and got a second opinion from an outstanding doctor at another hospital who read the same CT Dr. Tawfik did and confirmed my concerns. Thanks to Dr. Tawfik I was ill, in pain, multiple symptoms of an infection and issues, ran fevers for MONTHS, and was told it was normal. Currently scheduled and awaiting surgery for what he claimed was normal. Very disgusted. "

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.
