Tree Top Hospital's ENT department, led by Senior ENT Consultant Dr. Rajesh, 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.

The hospital is 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 has successfully performed over a dozen parotid tumor surgeries to date, all with positive results. This recent case further establishes Tree Top Hospital as the sole healthcare provider in the Maldives equipped to handle these intricate procedures.

The patient in this case had previously consulted other hospitals in the greater Malé area, only to be informed that the necessary parotid tumor surgery was unavailable. Tree Top Hospital is proud to offer this vital service to the Maldivian community and we are committed to providing patients with access to the latest advancements in healthcare, delivered by highly skilled and experienced specialists
