OBJECTIVE
To highlight the value of sialendoscopy during transoral resection of the sublingual gland for a plunging ranula to prevent iatrogenic injury to the submandibular duct.
RESULTS
The clinical course of a 20-year-old male with a plunging ranula was analysed. The patient underwent transoral
OBJECTIVE
Preferred treatment of oral/plunging ranulas remains controversial. We present our experience with ranulas at the University of North Carolina (UNC) and review the literature.
METHODS
Retrospective review. From 1990 to 2007, 16 oral ranulas and 10 plunging ranulas were treated at UNC.
OBJECTIVE
Many surgical techniques to manage ranulas have been described in the literature. These techniques include excision of the cyst with or without excision of the ipsilateral sublingual gland, marsupialization, cryosurgery, and CO(2) laser excision. Few studies have described the approach
OBJECTIVE
We present the intraoperative and postoperative complications associated with 606 procedures for ranulas in a series of 571 patients.
METHODS
Clinical records of 606 procedures in 571 patients with ranulas operated on in the Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, China between 1962 and
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this case study is to demonstrate that post-operative complication rates of sublingual gland excision for treatment of ranulas are equal to or less than alternative methods with a lower recurrence rate than other surgical methods.
METHODS
This was a retrospective review of
The morbidity following traditional surgery of the salivary glands is well documented and includes postsurgical complications such as the Frey's syndrome, complete or partial facial nerve damage, facial scarring, greater auricular nerve numbness, sialocoeles and salivary fistula. The avulsion of the
