  • Title: Extra-oral approach to removal of parotid duct stones.
    Author: Macassey E, Ahsan F, Allison R.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2010 Oct; 124(10):1100-2. PubMed ID: 20576189.
    Abstract:
    There are many different management strategies for salivary calculi within the parotid ducts. Commonly, the stones can be extracted via an intra-oral approach. Stones that are farther from the papillae require more complex management. This article describes a technique for extra-oral excision of palpable salivary calculi using known external facial landmarks and dissection. Two cases are discussed and illustrations shown, and a brief discussion of other techniques for the management of salivary stones is included.
