This multidisciplinary center, operating within the otolaryngology department, is a national referral facility that treats patients from across the country and abroad. It provides advanced treatment for all types of tumors in the head and neck region, including both benign and malignant conditions.

Patients come to the center for the treatment of tumors in the neck, throat, oral cavity, thyroid gland, and salivary glands. The center’s approach is deeply patient-centered: treatment plans are tailored individually, with a strong focus on maintaining the patient’s quality of life and respecting their dignity.

Advanced Head and Neck Surgical Techniques

The center is staffed by Israel’s leading head and neck surgeons. When removing tumors from areas such as the oral cavity, nasal cavity, pharynx, sinuses, skull base, or neck, preference is given to minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches, significantly reducing visible scarring and recovery time.

Cutting-edge equipment, including the latest version of the Da Vinci surgical robot, enables surgeons to operate with precision and minimal external incisions. Head and neck surgery without waiting is often possible thanks to the efficient coordination of medical teams and scheduling.

For complex cases involving tumors in the throat, vocal cords, or oral cavity, the center uses 3D surgical modeling. This allows for high-precision oncologic head and neck surgery in Israel, especially in procedures that involve reconstruction using free flaps, including bone and soft tissue transplants.

Comprehensive Care for Head and Neck Conditions

The center provides a complete continuum of care — from early diagnosis through to advanced surgical or oncologic treatment and post-operative rehabilitation. Patients are supported throughout their journey until full recovery.

Whether it’s head surgery in Israel, neck surgery in Israel, or specialized treatment for head and neck cancer, the Ichilov Center offers advanced care using globally recognized protocols and technology.

For patients seeking care from abroad, the center offers streamlined services for neck surgery without waiting and head surgery without waiting, ensuring quick access to world-class care without delays.

If you or your loved one is looking for Israel head and neck cancer treatment, Ichilov’s Head and Neck Surgery Center provides world-leading expertise, technology, and compassionate care in one of Israel’s most respected hospitals.
