Researchers from Gangneung-Wonju National University Detail Findings in Oral Cancer (Volume changes in the contralateral submandibular gland following unilateral gland excision in oral cancer patients).

Researchers from Gangneung-Wonju National University conducted a study on the effects of unilateral submandibular gland excision on the contralateral gland in oral cancer patients. The study found that the contralateral submandibular gland exhibited a statistically significant increase in volume following gland excision, indicating compensatory hypertrophy. This information is crucial for post-operative care and surgical planning to optimize outcomes for oral cancer patients. The study was published in Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and can be accessed for free online. [Extracted from the article]
