Good day!

It is possible to remove a parotid gland tumor through minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques. The most commonly used MIS technique for parotid gland tumor removal is called a partial parotidectomy or parotid gland-preserving surgery. This approach involves making a small incision near the tumor site and using specialized instruments to dissect and remove the tumor while preserving the normal function of the parotid gland.

The advantages of MIS techniques for parotid tumor removal include smaller incisions, shorter recovery time, reduced postoperative pain, and improved cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional open surgery. However, it is important to note that not all parotid gland tumors can be safely removed using MIS techniques. The feasibility of MIS depends on the size, location, and other characteristics of the tumor, as well as the surgeon's expertise and experience.

If you suspect you have a parotid gland tumor or have been diagnosed with one, I recommend consulting with a specialist, such as an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) or a head and neck surgeon. They will evaluate your specific case, perform any necessary imaging tests or biopsies, and determine the most appropriate surgical technique for tumor removal. Always follow the advice of a medical professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
