  • Title: Results of the Wilke operation to stop drooling in cerebral palsy.
    Author: Kaplan I.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1977 May; 59(5):646-8. PubMed ID: 850701.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral submaxillary gland excision and posterior transplantation of the elongated parotid ducts (as advocated by Wilkie) has proved to be an excellent procedure in the surgical treatment of drooling. I report a series of 20 patients who had excellent results from this, with amelioration of the drooling and minimal postoperative complications.
