In this real patient testimonial, you’ll hear how a salivary gland stone (sialolithiasis) was successfully treated. The patient describes the discomfort caused by a submandibular gland stone, the challenges of recurrent swelling and pain, and the relief brought by a safe and effective surgical removal under local anaesthesia.
This case was managed with minimally invasive, gland-preserving surgery, performed under local anaesthesia in an outpatient setting. The patient experienced minimal discomfort and rapid recovery, with no need for general anaesthesia or hospital admission.
Our approach prioritises patient comfort, swift healing, and preservation of salivary function.
