About parotidectomy at Even Hospital

A lump in front of or below the ear is often a parotid gland tumour — most are benign, but they grow and need planned removal that respects the facial nerve. At Even Hospital, Race Course Road, a surgeon examines the lump, correlates imaging and needle-test results, and explains the operation and its safeguards clearly.

Common questions

Is a parotid lump usually cancer?

Most parotid tumours are benign, but they enlarge over time and a small proportion can transform — which is why planned excision is generally advised. Your surgeon reviews your FNAC and scan and explains your specific situation.

What about the facial nerve?

The facial nerve runs through the gland, and protecting it is the central concern of this operation. Your surgeon explains how the nerve is identified and preserved, and what temporary weakness, if any, to expect.

What does parotidectomy cost?

The consultation fee is shown on each doctor's card and is paid online while booking. If the procedure is advised, you receive a written estimate first — the final figure depends on the clinical assessment and the room category you choose — and our team assists with insurance pre-authorisation and cashless processing where your policy supports it.

How fast can I see a doctor?

The slot on each card is that doctor's earliest live in-person availability. Book online and walk in at your time. If no live slot is showing, call +91 80470 95888 and the team will schedule you.

A lump in front of or below the ear is often a swelling of the parotid salivary gland, and one benign growth found there is called a pleomorphic adenoma, or benign mixed tumour. People search for it as parotid gland swelling or salivary gland tumour, and look for an ENT doctor or a general surgeon; this page lists doctors from both specialities at Even Hospital, Bengaluru.

Parotid gland surgery, or parotidectomy, is the planned removal of the parotid tissue holding the lump. The parotid is a salivary gland sitting just in front of and below the ear, which is where the swelling shows. It is planned surgery, so it is scheduled after your assessment rather than decided at the first look, and your surgeon explains what is being removed before anything is booked.
Your surgeon works from two things: a needle test of the lump, called FNAC, and an imaging scan. Those are read alongside the examination of the swelling, because what the lump turns out to be is what decides whether and how it is removed. If you already have an FNAC report or a scan from elsewhere, carry it to the consultation so the assessment starts from what is already known.
A parotid or salivary gland swelling is seen by ENT doctors and by general surgeons, and this page lists doctors from both at Even Hospital on Race Course Road in central Bangalore. Pick whichever of them has a time that suits you, and take your reports along. At that visit, ask what the examination shows, what the FNAC and the scan suggest, and what the next step is if removal is advised.
Check what you can verify instead of a ranking. Each doctor card on this page shows years of experience and, where it is published, the medical council registration number and year with a link to the register, and Even credential-checks every doctor before they see patients. Then ask the questions specific to this operation: how they manage the facial nerve during surgery, and what your written estimate covers. Dr Nayar Sajeet Gopinathan is one of the general surgeons listed on this page.
It is the name of a benign growth of the salivary gland, also called a benign mixed tumour. Seeing it on a report is a starting point rather than a plan: your surgeon reads it next to your scan and the examination of the swelling before advising anything, and explains what it means in your case. Bring the report and the scan images to the consultation.
