Abstract

BACKGROUND: Oral cancer is the most common type of cancer occurring in India and it is equally important to assess morbidities after treatment for optimal utilization of resources. Utilizing PSS HN we try to identify the patient population who are severely impaired and need aggressive rehabilitation.

METHOD AND MATERIAL: The PSSHN questionnaire was administered by the treating physician to 100 consecutive oral cancer patients who completed their index treatment at least 6 months prior to accrual. Functional morbidities with score ≤50 were considered as significant.

RESULTS: Prevalence of functional deficit of eating in public; deficit of understandability of speech and deficit of normalcy of diet were 28, 13 and 38 % respectively.

CONCLUSION: Type of resection either segmental mandibulectomy or major glossectomy, had most significant impact on concerned functional deficits and surgeries involving these defects should be carefully planned to involve free flap reconstruction and proper postoperative rehabilitation.
