Head and neck surgery involves the treatment of swellings, tumors, and other conditions affecting structures of the neck such as salivary glands, lymph nodes, and soft tissue masses.
The submandibular gland is another major salivary gland located beneath the jaw. Surgery may be required for chronic infection, stones, or tumors of this gland.
Various neck swellings such as cysts, enlarged lymph nodes, lipomas, or benign masses may require surgical removal for diagnosis or treatment.
Recovery depends on the nature of the condition and surgery performed, but most patients recover comfortably with appropriate care.
