Abstract
Objective: Resection of the submandibular gland (SMG) is a common surgery and many surgeons leave a drainage system in the surgical field. However, surgical drain may increase risk of complication and related prolonged hospitalization time. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety of SMG resection without any surgical drainage system.
