Advanced Salivary Gland Surgery for Comprehensive Care
Salivary Gland Surgery is a specialized procedure used to treat conditions affecting the major salivary glands, including the parotid and submandibular glands. At our ENT centre, experienced head and neck specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and surgical management for salivary gland swelling, stones, benign lesions, and salivary gland cancers using precise and carefully planned surgical techniques.
Salivary gland problems may cause swelling, pain, recurrent infections, difficulty eating, or a persistent lump near the face, jaw, or neck. Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine whether a condition requires medical management or surgical treatment.

Your specialist may recommend Salivary Gland Surgery when a salivary gland condition:

- Causes repeated infections
- Forms a persistent lump or mass

Clinical examination and appropriate imaging or tissue evaluation help determine the underlying condition.
