This study presents a minimally invasive oral approach for removing submandibular stones, achieving successful outcomes with rapid patient recovery. Patients experienced no complications and returned to a full diet within 48 hours post-procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Oral Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Submandibular calculi (stones) can cause significant patient discomfort and complications.
  • Traditional surgical removal of these stones can be invasive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an oral surgical technique for removing intraglandular submandibular calculi.
  • To assess the recovery profile of patients undergoing this minimally invasive procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 17 patients with submandibular calculi underwent stone removal.
  • The procedure involved an oral route with mucosal incision and blunt dissection.
  • General anesthesia was administered, with patients discharged after an overnight stay.

Main Results:

  • All 17 cases of intraglandular submandibular calculi were successfully removed via the oral route.
  • No surgical complications were reported in any of the patients.
  • Patients resumed a full diet within 48 hours post-operation.

Conclusions:

  • The oral approach utilizing blunt dissection is a safe and effective method for removing intraglandular submandibular calculi.
  • This technique facilitates a rapid recovery, allowing patients to return to normal diet quickly.
  • Minimally invasive oral surgery offers a favorable alternative for submandibular stone management.
