Types of Head and Neck Surgeries Performed by Dr. Jérôme: Head and Neck Surgeon in Dubai
Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery
Thyroid and parathyroid surgeries address conditions such as thyroid nodules, hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and parathyroid adenomas.
Procedure: Dr. Jérôme performs partial or total thyroidectomies and parathyroidectomies with a focus on preserving critical structures, such as the recurrent laryngeal nerves and parathyroid glands, to maintain voice quality and calcium balance. His minimally invasive techniques ensure reduced scarring and quicker recovery, allowing patients to return to their normal lives sooner.
Salivary Glands : Parotidectomy and Submandibular Gland Surgery
Salivary gland surgery is often necessary to remove benign or malignant tumors in the parotid or submandibular glands. These glands play a vital role in producing saliva, which aids in digestion and oral health.
Procedure: Dr. Jérôme carefully evaluates each case to determine the best approach, whether minimally invasive or traditional. His surgical expertise ensures that vital facial nerves are preserved to prevent complications like facial weakness or numbness, while effectively removing tumors and alleviating symptoms.

Procedure: Dr. Jérôme employs advanced techniques to preserve and restore vocal function. Procedures may include laser surgery for precise removal of lesions or microsurgery for voice rehabilitation. His approach prioritizes maintaining the patient’s natural voice quality and protecting airway function.
Lymph Node Dissection
Lymph node dissection is commonly performed for patients with head and neck cancers to remove affected lymph nodes and prevent the spread of cancer.
Procedure: Dr. Jérôme utilizes targeted lymph node dissection to preserve as many healthy lymph nodes as possible, ensuring an optimal balance between effective cancer treatment and maintaining immune function. His meticulous technique reduces the risk of lymphedema and other postoperative complications.
Reconstructive Head and Neck Surgery
Reconstructive surgery is often required for patients who have undergone extensive head and neck surgeries, experienced trauma, or have congenital deformities affecting appearance and function.
Procedure: Dr. Jérôme specializes in complex reconstructive techniques, including flap reconstructions, grafting, and microvascular surgery, to restore structural integrity and natural aesthetics. His approach emphasizes achieving a balanced, harmonious appearance while restoring essential functions like chewing, swallowing, and speaking.
