How To Treat Fatty Tissue Tumor On The Neck?

My husband has a fatty tissue tumor on his neck and is in a lot of pain. He has been given pain meds for it but is not working. Is there a laser surgery that can be done to remove this build up and is it possible for him to be awake during the procedure?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your husband's situation and problem.
Your husband is mostly having lipoma in neck region.
Lipoma is benign soft tissue tumour containing fatty tissue.Usually it does not require surgical removal.
But if it increases in size, causes pain, infected, restricts movements of neck etc then it needs surgical removal.
Since your husband is having a lot of pain, better to remove it.
Surgery is done under local anesthesia, so he will be awake during surgery.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your husband.
Thanks.
