No ethical surgeon tries to correct another doctor's attempts, especially in the case of head and neck cancer.
I can only assume the jaw broke because of radiation. Since he's already undergone radiation, he can't have more. The hole under his chin may be due to the surgical site coming apart, also due to radiation side-effects.
The only thing I can suggest is thickening the liquids and plugging the hole with gauze held in place during intake. Ask the ENT to refer your husband to a speech pathologist who can help with the problems he is having with oral intake. Other than these suggestions, it may just be easier to have a gastrostomy or PEG tube inserted so he can get enough nutrition without having it be exhausting.
