Living in ireland but want to travel to find ent doctor who does frequent parotidectomies with facial nerve dissections can u recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parotidectomy: Hello. Recurrent adenomatous disease of the parotid is difficult to treat. I would recommend seeing a head and neck specialist. US facilities such as the University of Pittsburgh and Univerisity of Pennsylvania have excellent reputations. Search for an ENT who has experience and numbers with recurrent adenomas. Good Luck
