Application of 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy to microvascular autologous transplantation of the submandibular gland in patients with severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
UNLABELLED Our objective was to evaluate the role of (99m)Tc-pertechnetate scintigraphy on microvascular autologous transplantation of the submandibular gland in patients with severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). METHODS (99m)Tc-Pertechnetate scintigraphy was performed on 106 patients with severe KCS. The patients were examined before surgery and at 1 wk and 3 mo afterward using a standar...

Dry eye syndrome is a relatively common disease of the tears and ocular surfaces that results in discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with possible damage to the ocular surfaces. Microvascular submandibular gland (SMG) transfer offers a surgical alternative for a permanent autologous substitution of tears using the basal secretion of a transplanted SMG. Long-term follow-up ...

متن کاملMicrovascular transplantation and replantation of the rabbit submandibular gland.
BACKGROUND Xerostomia is a devastating complication of radiation therapy. Previous research has demonstrated that submandibular glands may be removed from the neck and transplanted using microvascular techniques, with good gland survival. However, microvascular transplantation and replantation has never been attempted on a composite tissue such as a salivary gland. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the a...
