Abstract
|
|
|
|
A calcified structure blocking the flow of saliva into the mouth is a major cause of salivarydysfunction. If a stone is detected, the goal of treatment would be to remove it. Furthermore,the fundamental treatment for preventing recurrence, although depending on the location andsize of the stone, is salivary gland resection. The submandibular gland duct and hilum stone isusually removed by transoral approach. If there are multiple stones in the submandibulargland and the duct, it would be necessary to carry out resection of submandibular gland, usingthe intra-oral approach. We recently experienced a case of multiple stone in the submandibulargland and the duct in a 73-year-old man, who presented with the right submandibular areaswelling after meals. We removed the submandibular gland and duct stone without intra-oralapproach and present this case with a review of the literature.
