Salivary Gland Surgery at Nirogya Healthcare – Advanced General Surgery Care for Salivary Gland Disorders
Salivary gland surgery involves surgical procedures performed to treat diseases and disorders affecting the salivary glands, which are responsible for producing saliva to aid digestion, maintain oral health, and prevent infections. The major salivary glands include the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. When these glands develop infections, stones, cysts, or tumors, surgical intervention may be required. At Nirogya Healthcare, we offer safe and advanced salivary gland surgery under our General Surgery services, ensuring precise treatment and faster recovery.
Salivary gland disorders can cause pain, swelling, dry mouth, difficulty in chewing or swallowing, and recurrent infections. Early diagnosis and timely surgical management are essential to prevent complications and preserve gland function whenever possible.
Conditions Treated with Salivary Gland Surgery
At Nirogya Healthcare, our general surgeons treat a wide range of salivary gland conditions, including:
- Salivary gland stones (sialolithiasis)
- Recurrent salivary gland infections
- Benign salivary gland tumors
- Malignant salivary gland tumors

Diagnosis is confirmed through physical examination, ultrasound, CT or MRI scans, and biopsy if required.
