I had parotid tumor removal over 50 years ago at Boston Children's Hospital by Dr. Kenneth Welch. He cut in front and behind my ear and a long underneath my jawbone. Had 6 hours surgery and blood transfusion. I had no nerve damage! Smiled after surgery. He wrote up the surgery technique in medical book. I have a bit of a dent inwards in front of my ear and sweat eating high acidic foods. But I feel that I am very lucky. You help many people. Keep up the great work. Do you know any surgeon that does this work that you trust, in Seattle, WA area? Met a man with a tumor that needs surgery just today!

I'm about to have this surgery in less than a week. I'm glad you had a video to show me what will be done?

Hello. Would it be the same type surgery for embedded cysts? Parotidectomy?
