Sialocele treatment

(A) Cheek laceration repaired with failure to appreciate a Stensen duct laceration. The patient subsequently developed a sialocele (localized collection of saliva). (B) Operative repair of the Stensen duct laceration with a metal probe in the distal duct placed from the orifice of the Stensen duct intraorally (arrow) and a plastic catheter (arrowhead) placed into the proximal portion of the lacerated duct. (C) Placement of both catheters. The proximal catheter will be removed, and the proximal duct will be threaded over the one distal catheter. (D) Repair of laceration of the Stensen duct via suturing over one catheter (arrowheads) placed via intraoral cannulation of the Stensen duct (arrow). (E) Completed repair over the catheter.
