Mr. Zhang, 40, has a tumor between the left side of his nose and the middle of his brow, affecting his appearance. If conventional surgery is performed, it could cause "disfiguration", leaving surgical scars on the face and making it even more ugly (╥╯^╰╥) Mr. Zhang is so anxious that he has sought treatment at many hospitals without success (; ⌒ `)
The head and neck surgery experts at Hainan Cancer Hospital performed a minimally invasive surgery through the natural nasal passage on Mr. Zhang, precisely removing the tumor without leaving any scars on his face.

A man with a tumor on his face has a "face" problem
Mr. Zhang is a businessman, handsome and doing well in his career.
Four years ago, a lump the size of a broad bean emerged between Mr. Zhangs left nose and his brow. He didnt pay much attention to it because it didnt hurt or itch.
Recently, the "broad bean" has grown rapidly and raised a lump the size of a thumb, seriously affecting his appearance. Every time he talks to a client, Mr. Zhang feels extremely uncomfortable and is very distressed.
To solve the "face" problem as soon as possible, Mr. Zhang visited several hospitals, all of which told him that the lump needed to be removed directly by "surgery" on his face. Although the lump is a benign tumor and the surgery is not large, the surgical scar left after the operation may be even worse than the tumor itself.
Mr. Zhang is extremely anxious about this.
An unconventional expert solves the "face" problem
Through an introduction, Mr. Zhang approached Deng Xiaocong, deputy director of the Head and Neck Surgery department at Hainan Cancer Hospital.
Deng Xiaocong has been deeply involved in otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery for many years. He studied under Professor Wu Yanqiao, the chief expert in rhinology at Tsinghua Changgung Hospital in Beijing, systematically studying nasal endoscopy and nasal sinus, naso-eye related and nasal skull base anatomy, and received surgical training. He has accumulated unique experience in minimally invasive surgical treatment in this field.
Based on his deep understanding of endoscopic nasal surgery techniques and his precise grasp of the anatomical structure around the nose and face, after a comprehensive assessment of the patients condition and a thorough understanding of the patients needs, Deng decided to break through the limitations of conventional surgical methods and innovatively use high-definition endoscopic nasal minimally invasive techniques to precisely remove tumors through the natural nasal passage.
The procedure may seem simple, but it is not at all.
First, positioning is difficult
It requires the surgeon to have a thorough understanding of the complex facial structure in order to precisely grasp the tumor boundary and determine the extent of tumor tissue separation. A slight deviation may prevent the lesion from being completely removed, leaving a risk of recurrence.
Secondly | The risk is high
The location of the tumor is densely dotted with nerves and blood vessels, damaging normal tissues, which may cause postoperative facial nerve numbness or blood supply disorders, resulting in complications;
Next is | difficult to operate
To precisely strip the tumor tissue within the narrow natural passage of the nasal cavity is like driving a racing car on a village road. A slight misstep can ruin the operation.
Deng Xiaocong, with over two decades of expertise in minimally invasive nasal endoscopy surgery, successfully completed the "face-saving" operation of the innovative surgical approach in just over 40 minutes, completely removing the tumor. There was no surgical mark on the patients face and no discomfort in the nasal cavity as before the operation.

After the operation, Mr. Zhang told everyone he met, "Dr. Deng is highly skilled. The tumor was removed and there was no scar left on the face."
The minimally invasive nasal endoscopy technique has three major advantages over traditional open surgery: first, it causes less or even no facial trauma; The second is high safety, which can precisely protect nerves and blood vessels; Third, the recovery is fast, and patients can eat and move normally the day after the operation.
