This study presents a case series of patients operated due to OR and PR within different type of modalities in a 1-year period.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objective\u2003The aim of this study is to determine the optimal surgical treatment of ranulas based on our results as well as in the literature review.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003The medical charts of 7 patients with sublingual gland ranulas treated in 2020 were reviewed.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The median age of the patients was 19. Three patients with OR were treated by marsupialization, micromarsupialization, and sublingual gland excision. Four patients with PR were operated via cervical approach in three cases and intraoral approach in one case. No recurrence was observed in 14 months of follow-up, on average.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Micromarsupialization should be consider as the primary treatment for OR. In case of recurrent OR and primary or recurrent PR, the best results might be obtained by radical excision of the sublingual gland, which can be performed without resection of the ranula sac with the intraoral approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1744166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,20]],"date-time":"2022-12-20T01:14:10Z","timestamp":1671498850000},"page":"e296-e301","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Surgical
