Posterior drooling is an unfamiliar, potentially life-threatening condition that is treatable with medication, BoNT-A injections, or surgery. Although all treatments reduced signs and symptoms of posterior drooling, there is a greater effect after SMGE compared to BoNT-A and 2-DL. What this paper adds Submandibular gland excision has better results for posterior drooling than botulinum toxin A or submandibular duct ligation.
