[Sialography of the submaxillary glands. A technique for catheterization of Wharton's duct (author's transl)].
Except in cases where stones are present, it is often difficult to catheterize Wharton's duct through the opening when conducting sialography of the submaxillary glands. When direct catheterization is impossible the authors perform indirect catheterization proximal to the opening by turning back a periorificial mucous flap, posteriorly concave, after exposing the canal.
