Abstract

|
|
Surgical removal of the submandibular gland via intraoral approach was performed. The surgical procedure to be used for removal of submandibular gland had been performed via extraoral approach for many centuries.
Disadvantages of extraoral technique are the esthetic distress due to an external scar, residual inflammation in Wharton's duct, and neurological complications.
Indications of intraoral approach are unlimited in surgical cases of submandibular gland. Advantages of intraoral approach are esthetic satisfaction due to no remaining scars, preservation of adjacent anatomical structures and preservation of
lower
facial contour.
This paper describes the surgical technique of the submandibular gland excision through an intraoral approach and variable incision lines tried. In 7 cases, excellent results were obtained after removal of the submandibular gland through an
intraoral
approach.
