Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and explore the application of partial sialoadenectomy for the treatment of benign tumors in the submandibular gland (SMG). METHODS: Patients with pleomorphic adenoma of the SMG who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, from October 2017 to February 2021, were enrolled and assessed in the follow-up. Fifteen patients underwent partial sialoadenectomy (PS group), and 18 patients underwent total sialoadenectomy (TS group). Postoperative salivary secretion, degree of dry mouth, appearance changes of the face and neck, nerve damage, and tumor recurrence were compared between the groups. The volume of the glands on the operated and contralateral sides of the patients in the PS group, the saliva flow rate, and their correlations, were also analyzed. RESULTS: =0.319). No symptoms of nerve injury occurred in either group. CONCLUSION: Partial sialoadenectomy in the SMG can safely remove benign tumors while preserving glandular secretory function, with fewer complications and improved quality of life.
