Parotid Surgery
Superficial Parotidectomy
Superficial parotidectomy removes the superficial lobe of the parotid gland while meticulously preserving the facial nerve and its branches. This is the standard procedure for benign tumors such as pleomorphic adenoma located in the superficial lobe. At his practice in Bangalore, Dr. Adarsh uses a modified Blair incision for optimal cosmetic results.
