Parotid tumor surgery, also known as parotidectomy, is a procedure performed to remove tumors from the parotid gland — the largest salivary gland located near the ear and jaw.
Parotid tumor surgery, also known as parotidectomy, is a procedure performed to remove tumors from the parotid gland — the largest salivary gland located near the ear and jaw. The key focus of this surgery is complete tumor removal while preserving the facial nerve, which controls facial expressions.
Facial nerve preservation is critical to avoid complications such as facial weakness or paralysis.
Surgery is recommended in specific conditions to treat tumors and prevent complications while preserving facial nerve function.
Non-cancerous parotid gland tumors
Cancerous salivary gland tumors
Fast-growing lump near ear or jaw
Facial pain, numbness or weakness
Cancer suspected after biopsy results
Recognizing early symptoms can help in timely diagnosis and effective treatment.
Lump near ear, cheek, or jaw area
Swelling or asymmetry of the face
Weakness in facial muscles
Difficulty moving one side of face
Pain may occur in later stages
Different surgical approaches are used depending on the location, size, and nature of the tumor.
Removal of the outer part of the gland where most tumors occur, with careful preservation of the facial nerve.
Complete removal of the parotid gland in cases of deep or malignant tumors.
Advanced surgical techniques with intraoperative nerve monitoring to protect the facial nerve.
Special care is taken to preserve facial movements and prevent nerve damage during surgery.
Early treatment of parotid tumors is essential to ensure safe removal and protect facial nerve function. If you notice a lump near your ear or facial changes, consult our specialists without delay for accurate diagnosis and advanced treatment.
Recovery after parotid surgery is usually smooth with proper care, monitoring, and follow-up.
Typically 2–4 days depending on recovery condition.
Mild swelling and discomfort are common after surgery.
Temporary facial weakness may occur in some cases.
Normal activities can resume within 1–2 weeks.
Regular follow-ups ensure proper healing and nerve function.
