Introduction
  • A parotidectomy is the surgical excision
    (removal) of the parotid gland, the major and
    largest of the salivary glands.
  • The procedure is most typically performed due
    to neoplasms (tumors), which are growths of
    rapidly and abnormally dividing cells. Neoplasms
    can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant
  • (cancerous).

Symptoms
  • Parotid tumors often cause
  • swelling in the face or jaw that usually isn't
    painful
  • numbness, burning or prickling sensations in the
    face,
  • or a loss of facial movement.

5
Types of Parotidectomy
  • Superficial Parotidectomy
  • Total Parotidectomy

Treatment
  • Parotid tumor treatment usually involves surgery
    to remove the tumor which include
  • Removing part of the parotid gland.
  • Removing all of the parotid gland.
  • If the tumor contains cancer cells, the doctor
    may recommend additional treatments, such as
    radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
