Salivary Gland Surgery

Salivary gland surgery is performed to address a variety of conditions, including chronic infections, blockages from stones, or the growth of benign and malignant tumors. The most commonly affected glands are the parotid gland (in the cheek) and the submandibular gland (under the jaw). Our surgical approach focuses on resolving the underlying issue while carefully protecting surrounding structures, with a particular emphasis on the preservation of the facial nerve during parotid surgery. Using advanced techniques like minimally invasive sialendoscopy for stone removal, our goal is to restore normal function and provide relief with the best possible cosmetic outcome.
