Retrospective comparative clinical study on clinical effect of suture micromarsupialization on ranula.
Acta Odontologica Scandinavica 2024 May 4
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of suture micromarsupialisation on ranula. Methods: This is a retrospective comparative clinical study, the clinical data of 106 patients with simple ranula admitted to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital between August 2022 and May 2023 were collected. The patients were divided into the research group (55 patients), who underwent suture micromarsupialisation, and control group (51 patients), who underwent ranula resections. The therapeutic methods were compared regarding cure rate, surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, 24-h postoperative pain score, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and recurrence rate. Results: The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (98.18% vs. 96.08%, χ2 = 2.116, p = 0.347). Intraoperative blood loss (4.35 ± 1.19 vs. 26.33 ± 3.19), surgery duration (6.33 ± 1.43 vs. 26.33 ± 3.19) and the postoperative visual analogue scale score (0.32 ± 0.03 vs. 3.81 ± 0.15) in the research group were lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence rate of complications in the research group was lower than in the control group (7.27% vs. 25.49%, χ2 = 6.522, p = 0.011). The difference in the postoperative recurrence rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (3.63% vs. 9.80%, χ2 = 1.632, p = 0.201). Conclusions: Suture micromarsupialisation is a conservative therapeutic method for intraoral ranula. The cure rate of suture micromarsupialisation is similar to that of traditional surgery. It is recommended to use this technique as a first-line conservative therapeutic method for intraoral ranula, as it has the advantages of minimal invasion, simple operation, no pain, no need for haemostasis and no complications.
