Parotid Gland Surgery in Thane – Safe, Skilled & Modern Care by Dr. Ankur Bhanushali
Parotid gland swelling, recurrent infections, or a suspected tumor can be worrying — especially when located so close to the facial nerve.
At Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic, Thane, we provide safe, precise, and minimally invasive parotid gland surgery with advanced surgical techniques to ensure fast recovery and protection of facial nerve function.
Whether you are dealing with a benign tumor like pleomorphic adenoma, chronic infection, or unexplained swelling, timely evaluation and expert surgical management are crucial.
🔍 What Is the Parotid Gland?
The parotid glands are the largest salivary glands, located just in front of the ears.
They help produce saliva needed for chewing, swallowing, and preventing infections.
Common reasons for parotid surgery include:
- Benign tumors (Pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin tumor)
- Chronic infections
- Obstruction due to stones
- Cysts or abscesses
- Suspicion of malignancy
🩺 Symptoms That Need Evaluation
If you notice any of the following, you may require surgical consultation:
- Persistent swelling near the jaw or ear
- Lump that gradually increases in size
- Pain or discomfort while chewing
- Facial asymmetry
- Recurrent infections
- Fluid discharge from the gland
- Unexplained nerve weakness on one side of the face
Early examination helps avoid complications and ensures better surgical outcomes.
🔬 Diagnosis at Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic
We use a combination of:
- Ultrasound
- MRI/CT scans
- FNAC (Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology)
- Endoscopic evaluation (when required)
This helps identify whether the swelling is benign, infected, or suspicious.
⚕️ Types of Parotid Gland Surgery
1. Superficial Parotidectomy
Performed when the tumor is present in the superficial lobe.
Goal: Remove the tumor while preserving the facial nerve.
2. Total Parotidectomy
Required when the mass involves deeper portions of the gland.
Facial nerve monitoring is used for safety.
3. Partial (Conservative) Parotidectomy
Used for small, benign tumors — less tissue removed → quicker recovery.
4. Abscess Drainage / Stone Removal
For infections or salivary stones causing obstruction.
