Sublingual Sialadenitis in Chronic Sialadenitis with Recurrent Pain, Swelling, and Infections

This protocol addresses sublingual sialadenitis occurring in the context of chronic sialadenitis — a pattern distinguished by recurrent episodes of pain and swelling of the salivary glands that are aggravated by eating, and complicated by recurrent infections.

Chronic sialadenitis is characterized by recurrent episodes of pain and swelling of the salivary glands. The cyclical nature of symptoms — triggered by eating and associated with repeated infectious episodes — drives the clinical decision-making in this presentation.

When chronic sialadenitis does not respond to conservative management, surgical intervention is among the options considered. The full protocol specifies which surgical approach applies to this clinical scenario.
