The Stensen's duct line: A landmark in parotid duct and gland injury and surgery. A prospective anatomical, clinical and radiological study.

Introduction: The parotid duct (PD) is often involved in parotid gland diseases. A skin landmark could help the surgeon to locate its position. The parotid duct line (PDL) joins the tragus-antitragus point to the middle of the half upper lip.

Transoral Stensen's Duct Approach: A 22-case retrospective study.

Introduction: Parotid gland duct lithiasis is preferentially managed using minimally-invasive techniques such as sialendoscopy and lithotripsy. However, these 2 techniques cannot remedy all obstructions and other techniques such as the Transoral Stensen's Duct Approach (TSDA) may sometimes be helpful.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study of patients treated with TSDA was conducted to evaluate this procedure between 2006 and 2013.
