What is Parotidectomy Surgery?

Parotidectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a portion or the entire parotid gland, which produces saliva. It is commonly done to treat benign or malignant tumors, chronic infections, or cysts in the gland.

Depending on the tumor's location and size, surgeons may perform a superficial, total, or radical parotidectomy by using minimally invasive approaches to reduce scarring and nerve injury.

  • Have benign or malignant tumours in the parotid gland.
  • Experience recurrent infections or abscesses in the parotid region.
  • Have chronic sialadenitis (inflammation) unresponsive to conservative treatments.
  • Develop salivary gland cysts or stones that cause swelling and discomfort.
  • Have facial pain, swelling or lumps that require surgical evaluation.

The decision for surgery is made after diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound, CT, MRI and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAC) to confirm the condition.

Factors Affecting Parotidectomy Surgery Cost

The total cost of parotidectomy surgery in India can fluctuate based on several important factors:

  • Type of Surgery: Types of surgery, like superficial, total, or radical parotidectomy, can influence cost heavily.
  • Tumor Type: The nature of the growth, whether benign or malignant, can impact the cost.
  • Surgical Technique: The choice between conventional, microsurgical or nerve-sparing methods can also affect pricing.
  • Hospital Facilities: Type of room, equipment and postoperative care provided by the hospital are also considerations.
  • Surgeon's Expertise: The experience and specialization of the surgeon ( ENT or a head and neck surgeon) can greatly affect the pricing.

Different Types of Parotidectomy Surgeries and Their Costs

Medicover Hospitals offers different types of parotidectomy procedures as per the needs of the patient's diagnosis and tumor location.

Superficial Parotidectomy

In this procedure, only the outer (superficial) lobe of the parotid gland is removed while preserving the facial nerve. It is commonly performed for benign tumours.

Superficial Parotidectomy Cost

The superficial parotidectomy cost ranges from Rs. 65,000 to Rs. 1,30,000 depending on the surgical complexity and hospital stay.

Total Parotidectomy

The entire parotid gland is removed in this surgery, especially for large or malignant tumours involving both lobes.

Total Parotidectomy Cost

The total parotidectomy cost ranges between Rs. 70,000 and Rs. 1,45,000 based on the extent of the tumor and surgical duration.

Radical Parotidectomy

This procedure involves the removal of the entire gland, surrounding tissues and sometimes the facial nerve if it's affected by cancer. It is mainly performed for malignant tumors.

Radical Parotidectomy Cost

The radical parotidectomy cost varies from Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 based on the cancer stage and reconstructive requirements.

Partial Parotidectomy

Only a small portion of the gland is removed when the tumor or lesion is limited to a specific area, reducing the risk of nerve injury.

Partial Parotidectomy Cost

The partial parotidectomy cost ranges from Rs. 65,000 to Rs. 1,20,000 based on tumour location and surgical complexity.
