Parotidectomy Cost at Vivantes Hospital Group

Parotidectomy is the surgical removal of the parotid gland, either of a pair of the largest salivary glands.

Parotidectomy is performed to remove neoplasms, the dividing cells that are growing rapidly and abnormally. Parotidectomy is performed in two ways. Superficial parotidectomy to remove the outer part of the parotid gland in which the surgeon makes an incision in front of the ear down to the neck. Total parotidectomy is done to remove the entire parotid gland along with the facial nerve and tissues depending on the severity of the tumor.
