AI Overview
Parotidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the parotid gland, one of the major salivary glands located in front of the ear. It's typically performed to treat tumors, chronic infections, or blockages in the gland, as well as to manage other parotid gland problems.
@dave68, was cancer found in both your thyroid and parotid glands? Or are you having them both removed for a different reason?
