OBJECTIVES: Ranula is one of the commonest salivary gland cysts that mostly occur due to mucus extravasation from the sublingual salivary gland. Treatment of this lesion is still somewhat shrouded in controversy and varies from conservative treatment to surgical excision of the causative gland.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a case series in quasi-experimental design that evaluated the outcome and complications of the modified micromarsupialization technique as a newly introduced treatment at our center for simple sublingual ranula over a 2-year period.
RESULTS: Twenty patients were treated by the modified micromarsupialization technique and followed up for 1 year. There was complete resolution following this technique in 17 patients (85%) with no evidence of recurrence or complications, whereas 2 patients (10%) showed partial resolution and the remaining 1 patient (5%) showed a failure and recurrence. The age of the patient, the size of the ranula, and the retention of sutures throughout the study period did not significantly affect the treatment outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: The modified micromarsupialization technique was a simple and effective treatment that should be used as a primary treatment option for simple ranulas and we recommend it to be the first-choice treatment before surgical excision of the sublingual gland, especially in a resource-challenged economy like ours.
