Salivary Gland Surgery – Expert Treatment for Salivary Disorders
The salivary glands are essential for producing saliva, which aids digestion and protects the mouth from infections. However, certain conditions such as gland obstructions, infections, or tumors can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty in saliva production. At Dr. Necdet Demir’s Clinic, we specialize in salivary gland surgery, offering minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques to restore normal gland function and relieve discomfort.
Common Conditions Requiring Salivary Gland Surgery
✔ Salivary Gland Stones (Sialolithiasis) – Calcium deposits that block saliva flow, causing pain and swelling.
✔ Chronic Salivary Gland Infections (Sialadenitis) – Persistent infections due to bacteria or viruses affecting the glands.
✔ Benign or Malignant Tumors – Abnormal growths in the parotid, submandibular, or sublingual glands.
✔ Salivary Duct Obstruction – Narrowing or blockage preventing proper saliva drainage.
✔ Cysts & Abscesses – Fluid-filled sacs or pus formations that need surgical drainage or removal.
If you have persistent swelling, pain, or difficulty swallowing, early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further complications.
Our Salivary Gland Surgery Approach
At Dr. Necdet Demir’s Clinic, we use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to ensure faster recovery and minimal discomfort.
1️⃣ Diagnosis & Pre-Surgical Assessment
✔ Clinical Examination – Evaluating swelling, tenderness, and gland function.
✔ Ultrasound, CT, or MRI Imaging – To detect stones, tumors, or obstructions.
✔ Biopsy (if needed) – To examine suspicious growths for proper diagnosis.
2️⃣ Surgical Treatment Options
🔹 Sialendoscopy (Minimally Invasive Stone Removal) – A camera-assisted technique to remove salivary gland stones without major surgery.
🔹 Traditional Salivary Gland Excision – If the gland is severely damaged or affected by tumors, surgical removal may be necessary.
🔹 Tumor & Cyst Removal – Safe removal of benign and malignant growths, preserving surrounding tissues.
🔹 Salivary Duct Repair – Correcting duct obstructions or strictures for proper saliva flow.
Most procedures are performed using microsurgical techniques, ensuring minimal scarring and quick recovery.
Recovery & Post-Surgical Care
📌 First Few Days: Mild swelling and discomfort, managed with medication.
📌 1-2 Weeks: Gradual healing with improved gland function.
📌 Long-Term: Regular follow-ups to monitor saliva production and oral health.
