Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Salivary Gland Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Salivary gland surgery refers to a group of operations performed on the parotid, submandibular, sublingual, or minor salivary glands to treat conditions such as stones, benign tumours, cancers, chronic infections, or cysts. The specific operation depends on which gland is affected and what is being treated — ranging from a minimally invasive sialendoscopy to remove a stone from inside the duct, to a partial or total parotidectomy for a tumour, to submandibular gland excision through a small neck incision. Because the facial nerve passes directly through the parotid gland, and other important nerves lie close to the submandibular and sublingual glands, nerve identification and preservation are central to every operation. Most procedures are performed under general anaesthesia; hospital stays range from a single day for simple cases to three to five days for more complex surgery. Recovery at home takes one to three weeks for benign conditions, with longer follow-up planned when cancer is involved.
A fine endoscope is passed through the natural duct opening in the mouth to remove stones or clear blockages without any external incision or gland removal.
