La Peer Health Systems Surgeon Announces New Salivary Gland Stone Procedures
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2013 -- Babak Larian, MD, FACS, is the medical director of the Salivary Stone Center of Excellence in Los Angeles, which is a department of La Peer Health Systems. A world-renowned salivary gland surgeon, Dr. Larian utilizes the most advanced techniques for performing minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Larian and his team of skilled ENT surgeons specialize in the treatment of salivary gland stones and offer cutting-edge outpatient procedures.
“Salivary gland stones can be uncomfortable and even painful, often negatively impacting your life,” said Dr. Larian. “Our team’s goal is to treat those with severe infections to stop suffering and help improve patients’ quality of life.”
Some of these exciting, state-of-the-art procedures include sialendoscopy, which involves the use of an endoscope to remove the salivary gland stone and salivary gland removal, which is the complete removal of the gland for more severe cases. Because the surgeons use an endoscope during sialendoscopy, all or part of the salivary gland is spared, and patients most likely will not need to undergo additional salivary gland surgery. Additionally, this minimally invasive technique leaves no scarring, minimizes recovery time and allows patients to go home the same day as their procedures.
“We are learning more and more about salivary gland stone removal techniques every day, and continue to perfect our craft,” said Dr. Larian. “Now patients can find relief from their chronic salivary stones, without having to factor in lengthy and painful recoveries.”
