How serious is salivary gland surgery?

Salivary gland surgery, though commonly performed, is a significant procedure due to the complexity of the anatomy in and around the salivary glands. It involves removing part or all of one of the three major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, or sublingual) or smaller minor glands. The seriousness of this surgery depends on several factors, including the type of condition being treated, the gland involved and the potential risks. Professor Stuart Winter, leading ENT surgeon, tells us all about it in this article.
