Salivary Glands and Saliva

3.4K
The salivary glands, of which there are three pairs known as the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and initiating the digestive process. Positioned near the ears, beneath the masseter muscle, the parotid glands secrete saliva into the oral cavity through the parotid duct of Stensen. Meanwhile, the submandibular glands, located on the floor of the mouth, secrete saliva through channels named submandibular ducts. The sublingual glands,...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Submandibular gland diseases encompass inflammatory conditions, benign tumors, and malignant neoplasms.
  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for appropriate surgical planning and patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration (FNA) in submandibular gland lesions.
  • To determine the incidence and types of postoperative complications following submandibular gland resection.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 117 patients undergoing submandibular gland resection between January 1995 and December 2008.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, clinical history, FNA results, pathological diagnosis, and postoperative complications.

Main Results:

  • Fine needle aspiration demonstrated a sensitivity of 85.7% and specificity of 100%.
  • The overall complication rate was 7.7%, with temporary marginal mandibular nerve paralysis in 9 patients and permanent paralysis in 1 patient.

Conclusions:

  • Fine needle aspiration is a highly accurate diagnostic tool for submandibular gland pathologies.
  • Submandibular gland resection is a safe surgical procedure with a low risk of significant complications.
