Surgical Removal of Oral Tissues for Cancer

The provider removes the tonsils, tonsillar pillars and/or the retromolar trigone (the small area behind the wisdom teeth). If necessary, the provider also removes portions of the maxilla or mandible that are affected. The resulting wound is so large that it is left open to be grafted during a later procedure. This procedure is often used to remove cancerous growths. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries. This page does not show national, sample, or aggregate pricing.
