Areas of surgical specialization in Head and Neck Surgery

Endocrine Surgery, Head and Neck Research, Head and Neck Surgeon, Reconstructive Head & Neck Surgery

Biography/Statement

I am a Head and Neck Ablative and Reconstructive Surgeon practicing in Omaha, NE. Our group has one of the largest Head and Neck practices in the country specializing in all aspects of head and neck surgery. I specifically specialize in robotic surgery for HPV positive oropharyngeal cancers, microvascular reconstruction, salivary gland malignancies including sialendoscopy, melanoma/skin cancers and open/endoscopic skull base surgery. I completed my residency training at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX and then went on to complete my fellowship training in Nebraska. I have been in practice 5 years and have become heavily involved in both the American Head and Neck Society as well as the Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. I am very interested in survivorship after Head and Neck cancer treatment as well as outcomes research aimed at improving quality of life, efficiencies and decreasing cost of care.

Lydiatt’s clinical interest is in the care of patients with endocrine surgical disorders of the head and neck and oral cavity cancer and salivary gland neoplasms. He has a long standing interest in the prevention of depression in HNC patients. He also is interested in the use of the arts to enhance teaching and understanding of the patient experience. He is the current Vice-Chair of 8^thEdition AJCC Head and Neck Staging Committee. He has over 130 publications, books and book chapters in the field.

Clinical Trials

We have a series of clinical trials that are open in a number of areas. One is a trial to treat HPV associated cancers of the tonsil and base of tongue using combinations of trans oral surgery followed by lower doses of radiation or chemotherapy when indicated. We are examining the question of whether we can reduce the dose of radiation to decrease the long term side effects without reducing the chance for cure.
