Superficial parotidectomy is a surgical procedure in which the superficial part of the parotid gland is removed. It is indicated as a treatment for parotid gland tumors. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon or an ENT surgeon will perform this procedure. Wound infection, hemorrhage, and numbness around the ear lobe are common complications of superficial parotidectomy.
