Tumor surgery of the salivary glands and parotid gland

Maxillofacial Surgeon

Parotidectomy is a surgical procedure consisting in the partial or total removal of the parotid gland, a small salivary gland located in front of and under the earlobe. This gland can be the site of infection, inflammation, benign or malignant tumors.

The submaxillectomy is the removal of the submandibular gland, a salivary gland located under the horizontal part of the jaw, either because it carries a tumor of which it is essential to specify the benign or malignant nature, either because this gland is the seat of inflammation, or even a chronic infection of lithiasic origin (calculus), or other.
