Abstract
- A calcified structure blocking the flow of saliva into the mouth is a major cause of salivary dysfunction. 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 and size of the stone, is salivary gland resection. The submandibular gland duct and hilum stone is usually removed by transoral approach. If there are multiple stones in the submandibular gland and the duct, it would be necessary to carry out resection of submandibular gland, using the intra-oral approach. We recently experienced a case of multiple stone in the submandibular gland and the duct in a 73-year-old man, who presented with the right submandibular area swelling after meals. We removed the submandibular gland and duct stone without intra-oral approach and present this case with a review of the literature.
