Wharton’s Duct (fully dilated) 2.0-2.5 mm Stenson’s Duct (fully dilated ) 1.5-2.0 mm (0.8) - 1.1 - (1.6 mm) cannula: semirigid outer diameter We use this size only in about 80% of all patients 7 2

11/6/2014 Insertion within Wharton´s Duct � Ductal stenosis > 50% (0.8 mm) might be difficult – find duct and open it � Stones > 5mm � Ductal anomalies Be aware – not in Stensen´s duct (danger of stenosis) � Perforations (saline in FOM) Think Combined Approach Courtesy of Johannes Zenk, MD, PhD Ductal Scissors Zeltser, et al.

11/6/2014 Submandibular Gland Excision Gland Excision Intraglandular stone with stenosis � Incise low in neck (at least 3 fingers) � Avoid sub-platysmal dissection � Deep dissection through soft tissue to posterior digastric � Ligation of facial vein (Hayes Martin maneuver) � Incise glandular fascia adjacent to digastric � Progressively free gland in subfacial plane � Ligate facial artery or branches � Retract mylohyoid � Ligate submandibular ganglion � Palpate duct to ensure removal of all stones. Gland-Preserving Submandibular Surgery Helpful Hints � Use Methylene Blue � Beginners should try Kolinda Introducer Set � Use Tapered Schaitkin Dilators � Gently straighten duct with forceps; tease the dilator up then down � Passing the diagnostic scope will allow the saline to enlarge the duct making it easier to find � Don’t be afraid to make an incision � Extensive work on Wharton’s duct may require sublingual gland excision � Vessel loops are helpful to retract the duct. 8
