[Elimination of major salivary glands by temporary medicamentous occlusion of the excretory ducts (author's transl)].
The treatment of chronic recurrent inflammation of major salivary glands means reduction or elimination of parenchyma. Several operative and non-operative procedures have been described for this purpose. A new method is the instillation of an amino-acid solution which is hardening in the excretory ducts. Histological findings in experiments on animals show an atrophy of parenchyma while the filling mass is completely removed. Some patients were treated successfully by this method up to now.
