“…In addition, the same technique was used in endoscopic submandibular ganglion neurectomy for drooling 4 . The approach used was almost the same as our approach, and thus, our technique can be used for removing hilar stones and to help correct drooling.…”

Background: Surgical treatment for submandibular gland stones varies depending upon the site and size of the submandibular gland. With the transoral method, nerve damage and intraoperative bleeding in the direct incision over the hilar stones are possible. We used the lateral oral floor approach and report our procedure and the associated complications. Methods: Surgery was performed under general anesthesia. A 2-3 cm longitudinal mucosal incision was approximately parallel and outside of the Wharton's duct. The surrounding tissues were peeled away and the incision was made just above the stone and the stone was extracted. Results: 2 males and 5 females enrolled in this study, all stones were removed without leaving residual stone fragments. One patient had slight hypoesthesia on one side of the tongue, which resolved in 1 month Conclusions: Hilar stone excision from the submandibular gland was performed using the lateral oral floor approach. There were few complications and the technique seemed to be effective for relatively large hilar stones.

Salivary Glands - New Approaches in Diagnostics and Treatment

Sialorrhea, also known as hypersalivation or ptyalism, is excessive salivation associated with neurological disorders or localized anatomical abnormalities in the oral cavity. Pathologic sialorrhea may develop due to hypersalivation, together with various neurologic disorders including cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or as an adverse effect of medications. Sialorrhea results in numerous problematic physical and psychosocial complications and has a significant negative impact on quality of life for both the patient and caregiver. The management of sialorrhea is best accomplished with a multidisciplinary team approach. Treatment options range from conservative measures such as observation, positioning, behavioral therapies, and pharmacological therapy to more aggressive methods such as botulinum toxin injections or surgery. The physiology, etiology, assessment, and treatment of sialorrhea are outlined in this review.

“…Sialorrhea or drooling is characterized by excessive secretion of saliva above the rim of the mouth. Disorders of hypersalivation are more commonly associated with impaired neuromuscular control as seen in cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, and cerebrovascular accident, with dysfunction of muscles of swallowing, at times, implicated [10,[26][27][28][29]. Other conditions associated with sialorrhea include infections, Wilson disease, Angelman syndrome, and poisoning [30].…”

The submandibular ganglion is a small fusiform-shaped cluster of cell bodies of the parasympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic innervation of the submandibular gland is not only responsible for the secretion of saliva, but it also plays a main role in the development and regeneration of the gland. The parasympathetic root of the submandibular ganglion or the posterior branch of the lingual nerve to the submandibular ganglion is one of three roots of the submandibular ganglion. Using standard search engines (PubMed, Google), papers in English discussing the anatomy, embryology, variations, and clinical significance of the parasympathetic root of the submandibular ganglion were reviewed.
