Parotid, Other Salivary Glands, and Neck Swellings Surgery
Surgery on the parotid and salivary glands is performed for conditions like tumors, infections, or stones causing swelling and discomfort. The parotidectomy removes tumors from the parotid gland, often preserving the facial nerve. Other salivary gland surgeries address obstructions or chronic infections. Neck swelling surgeries involve the removal of cysts, lymph nodes, or benign/malignant tumors. These procedures are done under general anesthesia, and recovery takes about 1-2 weeks. Post-operative care involves wound management, pain control, and monitoring for nerve function. These surgeries effectively resolve functional and cosmetic concerns while preventing further complications.
