Tree Top Hospital's ENT department, led by Senior ENT Consultant Dr. Rajesh Arvind Valand assisted by Dr Chandrashekhar Rawal, has successfully performed a complex surgery to remove a large parotid tumor. Parotid tumors are located in the parotid glands, situated near the jaw and ears. 

Parotid tumor surgeries are highly intricate procedures requiring meticulous precision to preserve facial nerve function while ensuring complete tumor removal. This surgery has a significant cosmetic and psychological impact on the guest’s life.

We are delighted to announce that all facial nerve branches are functioning normally following the surgery. This successful outcome builds upon Tree Top Hospital’s growing expertise in complex ENT surgeries, of which all of them have been successful so far. 

Tree Top Hospital's ENT department is further augmented by its incorporation of the Medtronic nerve stimulator. This allows for increased precision during surgery, minimizing the risk of complications and contributing to the department's exceptional success rate.
