What is parotid tumor surgery and why it matters
A parotid tumor surgery (aka parotidectomy) removes benign or malignant tumors from the salivary gland located near the ear, often requiring delicate dissection to preserve facial nerves Because 20% of parotid tumors are cancerous, accurate excision with clear margins is critical to prevent recurrence Types include superficial and total parotidectomy, chosen based on tumor size, type, and location.
Common patient concerns about parotid tumor surgery
Patients often wonder about procedure duration, recovery, and risks. A typical case takes 2–4 hours under general anesthesia. Surgeons make incisions in front of the ear and down into a natural neck crease Facial nerve monitoring ensures minimized risk of temporary or permanent facial weakness. A temporary drain is usually in place for 1–2 days.
Recovery often involves a hospital stay of 1–2 days, with a return to light activities within a week and full resumption of normal life in 4–6 weeks. Mild pain, swelling, and numbness are expected but improve over months. Specialized wound care includes dressings, antibiotic ointment, and scar protection for up to a year Risks may include sialocele, Frey’s syndrome, or temporary facial nerve weakness, typically resolving within months
