Surgically Created Orifice in the Buccal Mucosa for the Treatment of Parotid Duct Fistula
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper was to present the efficacy of surgically created orifice in the buccal mucosa in the treatment of parotid duct fistula. The treatment was performed in 7 patients with parotid duct fistula. The procedure comprised creation of an artificial orifice in the buccal mucosa by introducing a haemostat via an open extraoral wound and puncturing the mucosa. Through the newly created soft tissue channel, a soft rubber drain was inserted, leaving one end in the wound where it was fixed with 3/0 catgut suture; the other end was left to protrude into the oral cavity for the period of 10 days. The treatment was successful in all patients and can be recommended as a routine costeffective method of parotid duct fistula management.

The parotid duct can be damaged in traumatic injuries and surgical interventions. Early diagnosis and treatment of a duct injury is of great importance because complications such as sialocele and salivary gland fistula may develop if the duct is not surgically repaired. We think the cuff of an intubation tube is an ideal material in parotid duct repair, because of its technical characteristics,...
