Surgery

At Liverpool Head and Neck Centre (LHNC) our internationally recognised surgical team comprises of specialists from ENT, Oral and Maxillofacial, Endocrine surgery, Ophthalmology and Neurosurgery. We work closely with allied specialists in anaesthesia, prosthodontics and peri-operative care to ensure the best possible outcome for your surgical journey. When required in specialist cases, we also liaise with our colleagues in the Walton Centre, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital and Alder Hey Hospital.  

Our care is primarily delivered at Aintree Site of Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust  (LUHFT) including dedicated operating theatres for both day-case and inpatient surgery. For patients requiring an inpatient stay you will be looked after on a dedicated head and neck ward staffed by highly trained and experienced head and neck nurses. New and follow-up patients may be seen in our fully equipped elective care outpatient centre or at one of our satellite clinics, depending on your home address.
