Internationally accredited hospitals
Hospitals experienced in treating international patients.
Experienced specialists
Doctors who regularly manage similar cases.
Care coordination support
A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.
About the Procedure
What is Salivary Gland Surgery?
Salivary gland surgery involves the surgical removal of tumors, stones, or diseased tissue from the parotid, submandibular, or sublingual glands. It is commonly performed to treat benign or malignant tumors, chronic infections, or salivary duct stones (sialolithiasis) that do not respond to conservative treatment. The procedure is typically performed by an ENT or head and neck surgeon under general anesthesia, with careful attention to preserving facial nerve function.
Who may be considered?
Salivary Gland Surgery may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Removal of the superficial lobe of the parotid gland, typically performed for benign tumors located above the facial nerve plane, with careful nerve dissection and preservation.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Superficial Parotidectomy
Most CommonRemoval of the superficial lobe of the parotid gland, typically performed for benign tumors located above the facial nerve plane, with careful nerve dissection and preservation.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $200 - $600
CBC, coagulation profile, ultrasound of the neck, MRI or CT of the parotid region, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), ECG, chest X-ray
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 - $6,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~10 days recommended
Total stay: approx 14 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-op consultation and workup
- Surgeon and anesthetist fees
- Operating room and hospital stay
- Facial nerve monitoring during surgery
- Post-op follow-up visit
Usually Not Included
- Airfare and visa costs
- Accommodation outside hospital stay
- Histopathology of complex/malignant specimens if extended
- Any revision surgery
- Long-term medications
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients resume light activities within a week and normal routines within 2-4 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery; facial nerve function is monitored closely during follow-up visits.
Risks
Potential risks include temporary or permanent facial nerve weakness, numbness of the ear lobe, salivary fistula, or Frey's syndrome, though serious complications are uncommon with experienced surgical teams.
Alternatives
For small, stable, or asymptomatic tumors, close monitoring with periodic imaging may be considered; sialendoscopy can be an alternative for stone removal in select cases without needing full gland excision.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- MRI or CT scan of the salivary gland region
- Ultrasound neck report
- FNAC or biopsy report (if performed)
- CBC and coagulation profile
- ECG and chest X-ray (for patients above 40 or with cardiac history)
- Sialography report (for stone-related cases)
- Any prior surgical or biopsy history related to the gland
Patient information needed
- Current symptoms (swelling, pain, facial weakness, difficulty swallowing)
- Duration and progression of the gland swelling or lump
- History of recurrent infections or stone formation
- Any known allergies or medication use
- Smoking or tobacco use history
- Previous head and neck surgeries or radiation therapy
- Existing medical conditions (diabetes, hypertension, cardiac disease)
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Salivary Gland Surgery in Delhi NCR, India
What is Salivary Gland Disorders?
Salivary gland disorders are medical conditions that affect one or more of the glands responsible for producing saliva, and they may involve obstruction, inflammation, infection, or abnormal growths ranging from benign cysts to malignant tumours.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Salivary Gland Disorders?
Common symptoms include swelling or a firm lump near the jaw or ear, pain or tenderness that may worsen at mealtimes, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, and in some cases a foul taste or fever indicating active infection. Tumours may present as a painless, slowly enlarging mass, while facial nerve involvement — such as weakness or numbness — can signal more serious pathology requiring urgent evaluation. It is important to note that these symptoms overlap with many other conditions, and their presence alone does not establish a diagnosis.
How is Salivary Gland Disorders diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed clinical history and physical examination to assess gland size, texture, tenderness, and any associated lymph node enlargement. Imaging — most commonly ultrasound, and in more complex or tumour-suspected cases, CT, MRI, or sialography — helps characterise the nature and extent of the abnormality. Where a tumour is suspected, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is often performed to guide management, and salivary gland tumours are formally staged using the TNM classification system; a qualified specialist will interpret all findings in the context of your individual case.
How is Salivary Gland Disorders treated?
Treatment depends on the underlying cause, its severity, and the patient's overall health, and may range from conservative measures and medication through to minimally invasive procedures or open surgery. Salivary stones may sometimes be managed without surgery, while recurrent or complicated infections, ductal strictures, and tumours often require procedural intervention. No treatment plan should be finalised without a full individual assessment by a qualified clinician.
Can Salivary Gland Disorders be treated without a procedure?
For salivary stones causing mild obstruction, conservative measures such as increased hydration, warm compresses, gentle gland massage, and sialogogues (substances that stimulate saliva flow) can encourage spontaneous stone passage. Bacterial sialadenitis is typically managed with antibiotics and supportive care, while autoimmune-related dryness is addressed with saliva substitutes, cholinergic medications, and regular dental monitoring. Minimally invasive options such as sialendoscopy — a camera-guided procedure to remove stones or dilate strictures without open incisions — occupy a middle ground between purely medical and surgical management and may be appropriate for selected patients.
When is Salivary Gland Surgery considered for Salivary Gland Disorders?
Salivary Gland Surgery may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Salivary Gland Disorders?
Salivary gland disorders are primarily evaluated and managed by an otolaryngologist (ENT surgeon) with experience in head and neck conditions. When a salivary gland tumour is identified or suspected, a head and neck surgical oncologist, and potentially a clinical oncologist for radiation or systemic therapy planning, will typically be involved in care.
How do I choose a doctor for Salivary Gland Disorders?
When selecting a specialist, look for an ENT surgeon or head and neck surgeon with a demonstrable caseload in salivary gland conditions — including experience with sialendoscopy if minimally invasive management may be relevant — and access to a multidisciplinary team that includes pathology, radiology, and oncology support where tumours are a concern. Confirm that the facility offers structured follow-up, particularly for conditions with recurrence risk such as chronic sialadenitis or post-operative tumour surveillance.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
