Treatment of the drooling child by submandibular duct transposition

Drooling is frequently a major problem in the neurologically damaged child, and carries a considerable social stigma. Current methods of treatment are reviewed, and the authors' experience using the technique of bilateral submandibular duct transposition in a series of 25 consecutive cases is evaluated. The operation is technically straightforward, with a high success rate and low morbidity, and is considered to be the procedure of choice.
