This is a high-volume centre providing surgical treatment to approximately 220 to 240 patients per year via a weekly regional Head and Neck MDT and a Combined Head and Neck Clinic, both centred in Exeter. The Head and Neck service has become increasingly busy over last five years due to the rapidly expanding population in the South West. The full range of surgical treatments for Head and Neck cancers are provided for, including transoral robotic surgery and 3D planning. A high volume of microvascular reconstruction cases are carried out by a team of reconstructive surgeons, with a low flap failure rate. Cases of osteoradionecrosis are also treated by the team.

Orthognathic Surgery is carried out in Wonford Main Theatres, with inpatient recovery on Otter Ward. It is anticipated that the should the new appointee have a sub-specialist interest in Facial Deformity and Orthognathics, they would share this orthognathic workload.
