Summary

The study addresses a problem that face surgeons who perform key-hole surgery to resect the submandibular salivary gland. The problem is the narrow space available around that gland. This does not allow for a safe operation. The study aims to evaluate a new, two step resection technique, that should overcome this difficulty.

Conditions

  • Submandibular Gland Resection

Interventions

PROCEDURE

video assisted submandibular sialadenectomy

Step 1: A 15 to 20 mm skin incision is performed. The anterior part of the gland is then dissected off the mylohyoid muscle. The superficial part of the gland is dissected free. Now, the free superficial part of the gland is resected .Step 2: The scope is inserted into the wound to view the deeper part of the gland. The latter is dissected and removed after identifying the tendon of the digastric muscle, the hypoglossal nerve, the lingual nerve and the submandibular duct. The lingual nerve is released from its attachment to the gland. The submandibular duct is ligated using 3/0 vicryl. The deep part of the gland is extracted through the wound. Hemostasis is secured.
