A member asked:
What is neck resection? and how long is the recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: This is a surgical procedure. Sounds like you have a mass or tumor that needs to be removed. Depending on how extensive the resection is determines the length of time to recover. You could be better in a day, or if there is extensive resection, then it can take as long as a month or more.
