Abstract:
A new combination of operations is described for controlling drooling in patients with cerebral palsy. Fourteen patients underwent ligation of one parotid duct and diversion of both submandibular ducts at the same operation. Drooling was controlled in all. Transient oro-facial swelling was the commonest complication.
