  • Title: Transcutaneous approach for the removal of parotid gland stones.
    Author: Oh HK, Park HJ, Oh JS, Jung S, Kook MS.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2014 Nov; 25(6):2196-8. PubMed ID: 25318444.
    Abstract:
    Salivary stones in the parotid gland can be treated with a wide range of methods. Stones close to the opening of the duct can be easily removed through the oral cavity, whereas the entire salivary gland may need to be removed if stones are located close to the parotid gland. In such cases, surgical removal of the parotid gland may be lengthy and may produce facial nerve injury. We report a simple extraoral approach used for the removal of parotid gland stones located close to the parotid gland by precisely identifying the location of stones in 2 patients with parotid sialolithiasis.
