Rebuild and Renew
Surgeons attempt to save a patient’s life, and her ability to smile, by removing a tumour in her cheek and reconstructing her facial nerve.
At St John’s Hospital in Livingston, consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon Ashley Hay specialises in some of the most challenging cancer cases: removing tumours from the head and neck. He’s joining forces with consultant plastic surgeon Patrick Addison for a complex and unusual case. They're hoping to both save their patient’s life and preserve her ability to smile by removing a tumour in her cheek and reconstructing her facial nerve.
A very different kind of reconstruction is happening at Edinburgh’s Western General Hospital, where consultant urological surgeon Voula Granitsiotis attempts a highly technical operation which will change her patient’s life: a complete bladder removal.
