Superficial ranula managed by marsupialization surgical technique
Background: Ranula is used to describe swelling that occur on the floor of the mouth. They are usually unilateral and it is typically has a bluish appearance that is compared to a frog’s belly, hence the term ranula. Usually it was caused by obstruction or trauma on sublingual gland. Ranulas have been classified as superficial and plunging. Purpose: The aim of this study is to report the marsupialization surgical technique in the treatment of superficial ranula. This technique allow the base of the lesion to become mucosal base of floor of the mouth, with the purpose of obtain a spontaneous reduction of the lumen to avoid recurrent salivary duct obliteration. Case: A 42 years old male, came to RSCM referred from RSU Jambi with chief complain swelling on the floor of the mouth since a month ago that cause difficulties in speaking. The swelling was growing slowly without pain. On physical examination there were swelling on right lateral floor of the mouth, its about 3x3x2 cm in size, with purplish blue color, well-defined border, firm consistency, and smooth surface. Case management: The superficial ranula were treated by marsupialization surgical technique in general anesthesia. A week post-operative follow up shows good wound healing and patient ability to speaking return to normal. Conclusion: Superficial ranula can be treated successfully by marsupialization surgical technique. Key words: Ranula, marsupialization
