Mission details

Over the years Team ENT's missions have morphed from general, ENT, head, neck, and plastic surgery to more head and neck cancer-focused care. The team has been able to refine their mission trips to help those that have the worst problems. Some highlights from their 2024 mission include removing a large thyroid neck mass from a woman who took a 10 hour bus ride to access the care, operating on a 9 year old boy who suffered from a painful bump on the back of his head, and removing a mass from a 13-year-old girl's face.
