Sublingual space abscess incision and drainage

Sublingual space abscess incision and drainage for the surgical treatment of sublingual abscess. The sublingual space is located between the tongue, the mucosa of the mouth and the mandible. The posterior boundary is the base of the tongue, the front boundary is the medial side of the mandible, and the lower boundary is the mandibular ligament muscle. The upper boundary is the mucosa of the mouth and the tongue. The entire gap is like a horseshoe. From the anatomical point of view, it can be divided into three gaps, that is, in the middle part of the anterior middle part, the sublingual meat mass gap; above the deep mandibular lingual muscle, the upper part of the lingual muscle is divided into two parts, which are called Glomeal space gap. The main structures of this gap are the lingual nerve, the hypoglossal nerve, the extension of the sublingual gland and the subglandular gland, the submandibular gland duct, the deep tongue artery and the accompanying vein. This gap infection develops backwards and often to the submandibular space. Treatment of diseases: sublingual cysts Indication Sublingual space abscess incision drainage is suitable for mucosal swelling, and there is a sense of fluctuation. Contraindications Patients with systemic failure should first correct the general condition or correct the general condition while cutting the drainage. Preoperative preparation It is the same as the preoperative preparation of each gap infection of other intraoral incision drainage. Surgical procedure Incision: Sublingual meat ridge infection Incision drainage should be made between the inside of the mandible and the opening of the submandibular gland, parallel to the arcuate incision of the inside of the mandible. The length of the incision should be based on the principle of drainage. The incision of the infection of the lingual space of the tongue should be on the inside of the mandible, and the lateral side of the sublingual fold is a longitudinal incision parallel to the mandible. The mucosa and the mucosa are cut into the abscess, and the rubber strip is routinely placed.
