The conservative transoral approach to hilo-parenchymal submandibular stones has been proposed as an alternative to traditional sialadenectomy. The main purpose is to preserve the gland and eliminate the risk of a cervical scar and damage to the marg...
BACKGROUND: The da Vinci single-port (SP) is utilized in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) procedures for malignant oropharyngeal tumors. We report a case utilizing the da Vinci SP in TORS for sialolith removal.
Quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) using Tc-99m pertechnetate aids in evaluating salivary gland function. However, gland segmentation and quantitation of gland uptake is challenging. We develop a sa...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the performance of 3 deep learning models, including a model constructed with the transfer learning method, in detecting submandibular gland sialoliths on panoramic radiographs.
OBJECTIVE: Sialendoscopy has remained the standard of treatment for sialolithiasis; however, large stones impacted in the submandibular gland hilum often require an intra-oral combined approach.
