Parotidectomy is usually done under general anesthesia. It is difficult to perform this procedure under local or regional anesthesia. Since it is a benign tumor there is no absolute necessity to undergo surgery as her general condition of airway is poor and complications during surgery are expected
Next Steps
Consult nearby head and neck surgeon for more information about the surgery and it's outcomes
