Surgical strategy in submandibular sialolithiasis: Impact of stone location and size on approach selection and outcomes
A simple CT-based framework incorporating stone location and size was associated with approach selection and outcomes in submandibular sialolithiasis. Using a 5.5 mm size threshold alongside anatomic zoning may help guide minimally invasive, gland-preserving strategies and reduce morbidity. Prospective validation is warranted.
