Why it is done
- A tumour in the submandibular gland
- Ongoing swelling, bad taste and inflammation
- To stop the problem affecting surrounding tissues
- To protect the nerves around the gland
Submandibular Gland Treatment
Swelling or pain under the jaw? Our ENT surgeons diagnose and treat submandibular gland stones, infections and tumours, including gland excision surgery.
Submandibular Gland Removal Surgery
Submandibular gland treatment
Submandibular gland excision is performed to treat a tumour in the submandibular glands — the saliva-producing glands located under the jaw bone. Problems such as swelling, a bad taste in the mouth and inflammation of the gland can affect the surrounding tissues, and surgery can prevent it from affecting the nerves around the gland.

Why & How
Why submandibular surgery is done
Surgical removal (excision) may be advised for:
The procedure
- Performed under general anaesthesia (up to about one hour)
- A small incision is made in the neck below the jaw bone
- Part of the submandibular gland is removed
- A tiny drain clears excess fluid, then stitches close the cut
Nerves we protect
- Marginal mandibular nerve
- Lingual nerve
- Hypoglossal nerve
- Careful technique preserves normal function
Treatment
Submandibular gland excision
When a tumour, stone or ongoing infection affects the submandibular gland, surgical removal (excision) is the definitive treatment. The gland sits just under the jaw bone, and the operation is carefully planned to clear the problem while protecting the important nerves nearby.
Most procedures take around an hour under general anaesthesia, with a small drain and stitches that are cared for during a short recovery.
What to expect
- General anaesthesia; about one hour
- A small incision below the jaw bone
- The gland (or part of it) is removed
- A tiny drain and stitches close the cut
- Key nerves are carefully preserved
