The aim of this article is to investigate and elucidate the impact and relevance of oral and maxillofacial surgery in the rehabilitation process of individuals facing the challenge of head and neck cancer. The indexes SciVerse Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), U.S. National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) and ScienceDirect were used as search engines. The articles were contemplated between the years 2000 to 2023. The rehabilitation approach in oral and maxillofacial surgery for patients facing head and neck cancer represents a crucial pillar in the journey of treatment and recovery. The complexity of the functional, aesthetic and psychosocial implications of this type of cancer requires a multidisciplinary and integrated approach that goes beyond the medical aspect. The results demonstrate that this rehabilitation technique can effectively improve the quality of life of patients, allowing restoration of function, recovery of self-image and social reintegration. Collaboration between oral and maxillofacial surgeons, physical therapists, speech therapists and mental health professionals plays a vital role in this process, providing a holistic and comprehensive approach.
