    What is Submandibular Gland?

    The submandibular glands are located below the jaw and secrete saliva from under your tongue. Tumors in the submandibular gland are caused by the abnormal growth of tumours or cells in the submandibular gland.

    Submandibular Gland Surgery

    A submandibular sialendoscopy or submandibular gland removal surgery is conducted if a tumour is found in the submandibular gland. It can also be used in cases of sialorrhea (excessive salivation or drooling). Sialorrhea can affect people with neurologic problems such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease that impair the control of muscles in the mouth or face.

    When medications don’t work as expected, surgical salivary gland removal is performed to manage excessive salivation. An incision is made in your upper neck, alongside the jaw, to remove the tumor.

    Submandibular Gland Treatment Procedure

    Doctors use surgery to access the gland and remove a submandibular gland tumour, also known as a submandibular sialendoscopy. In this procedure, they either remove the infected part or remove the whole submandibular gland.

    Laparoscopic

    Laparoscopic Surgery

    Using the minimally invasive technique, a small incision is made in front of the ear and down the neck. The surgeon uses a nerve monitor to find the facial nerve, which needs to be protected throughout the procedure. They will separate your facial nerve and its branches from the submandibular gland tumour. Your surgeon removes the submandibular gland tumour in a biopsy if it contains cancer cells. In the end, the incision will be closed through sutures (stitches under the skin, giving an excellent cosmetic result).

    Chemotherapy

    Chemotherapy

    If the patient is not a candidate for surgery, then doctors also use radiation therapy or chemotherapy to kill the cancerous cells through powerful radiation beams or medications, respectively.
