Sialendoscopic Management and Gland Preservation in an Unusual Case of Extensive Submandibular Sialolithiasis.
J Maxillofac Oral Surg
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Sialolithiasis is a common condition affecting salivary glands, leading to infections and discomfort due to the formation of stones.
- - Traditional treatments for large or multiple stones include ductal marsupialisation or gland excision, which can be more invasive.
- - Sialendoscopy is a newer, less invasive method that can effectively remove stones while preserving gland function, as demonstrated by a case where 13 stones were successfully evacuated from a submandibular gland.
Aim: Head and Neck oncologic resections often leave complex defects which are challenging to reconstruct. The need of the hour is a versatile flap which has the advantages of both a regional flap (viz. reliable and easy to harvest) and a free flap (thin, pliable with good colour match).
