Abstract:
Submandibular gland is an important human function organ. With the wide application of sialoendoscope and new understanding of IgG4 related sialadenitis, a lot of submandibular glands which were previously considered to be removed are preserved. However, some submandibular glands which might be preserved are still unfortunately sacrificed. Therefore, we advocate the popularization and promotion of new knowledge and techniques and should pay more attention to the protection of the function organ of submandibular gland.
