The problem started increasing so much that his quality of life was totally hampered. He was brought to the Department of ENT and Head, Neck Onco Surgery, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi last month.
In this video, Dr. Sangeet Agarwal, Associate Consultant (Head and Neck Onco Surgeon), Sir Ganga Ram Hospital talks about the challenges, uniqueness, and prognosis of the case.
