Mini-Incision Parotidectomy | Dr. Satish Nair | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

The parotid gland, located on both sides of the face, produces saliva, and one of the most common causes of its swelling is a benign tumor called Pleomorphic Adenoma, accounting for 80% of cases. The standard treatment is Parotidectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the gland. However, due to the facial nerve running through the gland, there is a risk of facial palsy if the nerve is damaged. Dr. Satish Nair, Academic Head and Consultant in ENT, Head & Neck Surgery at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, has pioneered the Mini-Incision Parotidectomy technique. This minimally invasive approach involves a 2.5 cm incision behind the ear, allowing safe removal of the tumor while preserving the facial nerve. The technique ensures quicker recovery, better cosmetic results, and an earlier return to normal life. To know more about the doctor, click here
