Marsupialization or cyst extirpation is recommended for ranula, a rare floor of mouth swelling. Complete sublingual gland removal is advised for recurrent cases to prevent further ranula development.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Pathology

Context:

  • Ranula, a cystic swelling originating from the sublingual salivary gland, presents as a relatively uncommon, typically unilateral floor of mouth lesion.
  • Understanding the optimal surgical approach for ranula management is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the recurrence rates and complications associated with different surgical treatments for ranula.
  • To determine the most effective primary and secondary treatment strategies for ranula.

Summary:

  • A review of 14 patients treated between 1976 and 1998 revealed no recurrences after marsupialization or sublingual gland extirpation.
  • Cyst extirpation alone resulted in a 14% recurrence rate, with 18.2% of patients experiencing complications at an average 8.1-year follow-up.
  • The study suggests marsupialization or cyst extirpation as primary treatments, with sublingual gland extirpation recommended for recurrent ranulas.

Impact:

  • Establishes marsupialization/cyst extirpation as the preferred initial surgical management for ranula.
  • Provides evidence-based guidance for managing recurrent ranula cases, emphasizing sublingual gland extirpation to minimize recurrence and complications.
