  • Title: Surgical treatment of drooling by bilateral parotid duct ligation and submandibular gland resection.
    Author: Dundas DF, Peterson RA.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1979 Jul; 64(1):47-51. PubMed ID: 451065.
    Abstract:
    We have followed 14 patients for up to 6 years after they had submaxillary gland resections and parotid duct ligations for drooling. Good to excellent results were found in more than 85 percent of them in the control saliva, and there have been no recurrences or fistulae. This procedure is technically simple to do, and it is associated with less morbidity than surgical relocation of the parotid ducts.
