Efficacy of Submandibular Gland Excision Versus Preservation During Supraomohyoid Neck Dissection for T1, T2, and N0 Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Submandibular gland preservation during SOHND in early OSCC leads to a slight increase in the time of dissection and blood loss is negligible and appears oncologically safer. No recurrence of intraglandular lymph nodes and zero incidence of xerostomia were the follow-up conclusions of the preservation method.
