Mr. Dennis Maajin, who have been battling with a huge parotid gland tumour from years have been apprehensive about getting it removed as he was not sure if his facial nerves will be protected or not after the surgery, if not, this could have led to a permanent paralysis of his face. So his apprehension was well justified. With a lot of courage and support from his father, he now began to hunt for the best ENT surgeons in India and that is when he came in touch with us. He shared the reports with us which were reviewed by Dr Yatin Sethi, Sr Consultant ENT Surgeon, Venkateshwar Hospital in New Delhi. He advised for a total parotidectomy surgery for Mr. Dennis and we conveyed the same to him.
Now was the time for them to make a decision and plan their travel to India for a total parotidectomy surgery in India. We shared the visa invite to them and got the ball rolling; they got their visa in 4 days, thanks to the Indian embassy in Abuja. They travelled to India after 2 days, we arranged for their stay in our guest house and they were in the hospital the next day. We arranged for the appointment with Dr Yatin Sethi and he prescribed some investigations to be done before giving a go ahead for a Total Parotidectomy Surgery. After the investigation, Dennis was admitted in the hospital the next day and underwent the surgery. The surgery was a success, doctor had to perform a small procedure to protect the facial nerve after the total parotidectomy surgery and that was a success too.
A procedure where the surgeon removes the parotid lump is called a total parotidectomy surgery. It is done for tumors of the Parotid Gland and occasionally for recurrent infections of the gland. For benign and low grade malignant tumors, surgery is usually curative without any need for additional therapy. For other malignant tumors, surgery is usually followed by radiation therapy. Occasionally, benign or low-grade malignant tumors that have recurred are treated with total parotidectomy and radiation therapy. This involves removing either part or all of the Parotid Gland. The operation is usually performed under a general anesthesia, which means that you will be asleep throughout the procedure. A skin incision is made, which runs from the front of the ear curving towards the back of the ear just to the level of the hair line. Most surgeons differ in making the skin cut and tend to extend the cut into the neck. This is nearly the same incision as that used in face-lift surgery and has excellent cosmetic results. At the end of the operation a small drain is placed through the skin to facilitate drainage of blood and tissue fluids. The skin cut is closed with stitches and the drain is removed in 24-48 hours, when you will be able to go home. Stitches will be removed usually after 6 days.
India has been one of the most preferred destinations for patients like Mr. Dennis Maajin who are facing challenge in getting the proper treatment and care and a Total Parotidectomy Surgery.
