 Submandibular Gland Excision Frequently- Asked Questions * Otolaryngology Houston
Weakness of the lower lip - a lower branch of the facial nerve (the marginal mandibular branch) is the nerve most likely to be bruised in the removal of a submandibular gland.  If bruising occurs it affects the movement of your lower lip, leading to a slightly crooked smile.
The most common reason for removing a submandibular gland is chronic infection that occurs if the ducts that drain saliva become blocked with  a stone.  Other indications for surgery include benign tumors, such as pleomorphic adenomas.  Whereas 80% of parotid gland tumors are benign, in the submandibular gland, 66% of tumors are malignant.
The submandibular gland is resected under a general anesthetia.  A cut around two inches long is made in the upper part of the neck just below the lower jaw.
