Efficacy and Tolerability of Transoral Sialolithotomy in Non-Palpable Submandibular Lithiasis. [PDF]
LaryngoscopeTransoral sialolithotomy has long been considered inappropriate for non‐palpable submandibular stones. In this retrospective cohort of 457 patients, we compared outcomes between palpable and non‐palpable stones, showing that the technique allows successful removal in 87% of non‐palpable cases, with no associated complications.
