About Submandibular Gland Excision
Submandibular gland excision removes one of the two salivary glands under the jaw. It is used for stones, repeated infection, chronic swelling or a lump in the gland.
Under general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes a small cut in a skin crease below the jaw and removes the gland, taking care to protect nearby nerves that control the lip and tongue. Blood vessels and the duct are tied off. In some cases a drain is left for a day. Endoscopic or minimally invasive approaches are used for selected stones.
Usually a good fit if
- Recurrent stones or blockage of the submandibular gland.
- Chronic infection or swelling not controlled by antibiotics or less invasive options.
- Benign tumour of the gland.
- Persistent pain and swelling that affect eating.
May need to wait if
- Stones or blockage that can be treated through the duct or with sialendoscopy.
- Active infection that needs treatment first.
- Bleeding disorders or blood thinners not reviewed by your doctor.
- Suspected cancer that needs wider planning.
How to prepare
- Bring your ultrasound, CT or sialography results and any biopsy findings.
- Tell the team about medicines and blood thinners; changes are on your doctor's instruction.
- Follow fasting instructions for general anaesthesia.
- Plan time for wound care and avoid heavy lifting for two weeks.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Can sialendoscopy or stone removal be tried before removal?
- How will you protect the nerves near the gland?
- What risk is there of temporary lip weakness or tongue numbness?
- When will pathology be available?
- What follow-up do I need at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Gland is removed with no imaging.
- No discussion of nerve risks.
- Less invasive options are not considered.
- No drain or wound care instructions.
