Dr. Deepak Yadav

Dr. Deepak Yadav is a Consultant ENT Head & Neck Oncosurgeon at Kathmandu Cancer Center. He completed his MBBS from BPKIHS, Dharan, his MS in ENT from the Institute of Medicine (IOM), TUTH, and a highly competitive Fellowship in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai—India's most respected dedicated cancer centre and the institution to which Nepal's most difficult mouth, throat, and thyroid cancer cases are referred. He is former Co-editor of the Nepalese Journal of ENT Head & Neck Surgery and is regularly invited as faculty to train junior surgeons nationally and internationally.

Dr. Yadav has performed over 1500 cancer surgeries, including 1300+ thyroid operations and 200+ free flap reconstructions. His deep experience allows him to preserve critical structures—recurrent laryngeal nerves for voice and parathyroid glands for calcium metabolism—in even the most complex cases. He is the only surgeon in Nepal offering brachytherapy for lip and tongue cancers and routinely performs procedures previously unavailable in the country, including skull base surgery, LASER cordectomy for voice preservation, and infratemporal fossa clearance.

Dr. Yadav coordinates every case through the KCC Multidisciplinary Tumor Board, integrating his surgical expertise with medical and radiation oncology to deliver protocol-driven, evidence-based care. Advanced cancer patients form the majority of his practice, typically referred by fellow otorhinolaryngologists and even his own mentors—the highest form of professional recognition.

Dr. Yadav's surgical philosophy centers on respecting critical anatomy at every step—preserving voice, calcium metabolism, and surrounding structures while achieving complete oncological clearance. High-volume experience (1300+ thyroid surgeries) enables him to anticipate and manage every complication and anatomical variation, delivering outcomes that avoid life-altering morbidities.
