Complete stone removal was achieved in 28 cases (85%), and symptom resolution was observed in 29 cases (88%). Postoperative infections occurred in five parotid and four submandibular cases. Temporary tongue paraesthesia was noted in two submandibular cases; no nerve injuries were reported in parotid cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The combined approach is a safe and effective gland-preserving technique for large salivary gland stones, with high success rates and minimal complications.
