Abstract:

The recurrence of sialoliths in residual Wharton’s duct is a long-term complication after submandibular gland excision due to glandular dysfunction caused by chronic submaxillaritis secondary to sialoliths. This condition presents with a painful and solid mass at the floor of the mouth or submandibular area. The recurrence of sialoliths in residual Wharton’s duct due to the lack of attention from clinicians has been rarely reported. To guide clinical operations, our review summarizes current knowledge on the causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this complication.

Key words: submandibular gland excision, Wharton’s duct;, sialoliths, recurrence
