Thank you for your question regarding salivary gland surgery in Surat.
While individual patient experiences may vary depending on the type of salivary gland surgery (such as parotidectomy, submandibular gland excision, etc.) and the underlying condition, I can share some general insights based on clinical experience.
Typical Patient Experience and Recovery:
Surgery Process: Most patients report that the surgery, performed under general anesthesia, is well-tolerated. The surgical duration and complexity depend on the gland involved and the pathology.
Hospital Stay: Generally, a short hospital stay of 1-2 days is expected.
Recovery:
Initial mild swelling, numbness, or discomfort near the incision area is common and improves over 1-2 weeks.
Full recovery and return to normal activities usually occur within 2-3 weeks, although healing of internal tissues may continue for a few months.
Facial weakness or nerve sensitivity may occur in some cases, particularly with parotid surgeries, but with proper surgical care and follow-up, most patients recover well.
Important Note:
For the best outcomes, it is essential to undergo surgery at a center with experience in salivary gland surgeries and availability of intraoperative nerve monitoring, which minimizes risks and supports smoother recovery.
