Parotid Surgery
Parotid Adenoma
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common parotid tumor, accounting for about 60 percent of all salivary gland neoplasms. Complete excision with an adequate margin of normal tissue is essential to prevent recurrence. Dr. Adarsh, based in Bengaluru, performs extracapsular dissection or superficial parotidectomy based on tumor size and location.
About Parotid Adenoma
Parotid adenoma excision specifically targets benign tumors of the parotid gland, most commonly pleomorphic adenoma (80% of parotid tumors). Complete excision with a cuff of normal tissue is essential to prevent recurrence, as pleomorphic adenomas have a tendency to recur if incompletely removed and carry a small risk of malignant transformation over decades.
