The Authors present a short review of the literature about submandibular sialolithiasis, including stone formation, clinical manifestations and instrumental diagnosis. In particular the paper deals with the outpatient surgical treatment of stones obstructing the anterior portion of Warthon's duct. According to the literature, surgical excision is still the most effective technique; endoscopy and lithotripsy may be an indicated alternative when a surgical excision will cause excessive tissue loss. A case of submandibular sialolithiasis treated with Warthon's duct isolation and stone excision followed by surgical modification of duct is also reported.

Abstract
The Authors present a short review of the literature about submandibular sialolithiasis, including stone formation, clinical manifestations and instrumental diagnosis. In particular the paper deals with the outpatient surgical treatment of stones obstructing the anterior portion of Warthon's duct. According to the literature, surgical excision is still the most effective technique; endoscopy and lithotripsy may be an indicated alternative when a surgical excision will cause excessive tissue loss. A case of submandibular sialolithiasis treated with Warthon's duct isolation and stone excision followed by surgical modification of duct is also reported.Pubblicazioni consigliate
