This study aimed to systematically review the literature to determine the efficacy and safety of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the management of submandibular gland (SMG) sialolithiasis. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were searched for English-language articles evaluating TORS in the management of SMG stones published up to 12 September 2022. Nine studies with a total of 99 patients were included. Eight patients underwent TORS followed by sialendoscopy (TS); 11 patients underwent sialendoscopy followed by TORS and sialendoscopy (STS); 4 patients underwent sialendoscopy followed by TORS only (ST); and 4 patients underwent TORS without sialendoscopy (T). The mean operative time amounted to 90.97 min. The mean procedure success rate reached 94.97%, with the highest for ST (100%) and T (100%), followed by the TS (95.04%) and STS (90.91%) variants. The mean follow-up time was 6.81 months. Transient lingual nerve injury occurred in 28 patients (28.3%) and was resolved in all of them within the mean of 1.25 months. No permanent lingual nerve injury was reported. TORS is a safe and effective management modality for hilar and intraparenchymal SMG sialoliths, with high procedural success in terms of successful sialolith removal, SMG preservation, and reduced risk of permanent postoperative lingual nerve damage.

Recently, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has become a promising tool in distinguishing benign from malignant parotid gland tumors. However, its usefulness in differentiating various benign parotid tumors has not been determined so far. This study aimed to systematically review the literature to determine the utility of CEUS in the preoperative differentiation between pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) and Warthin’s tumors (WTs) of the parotid gland. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were searched for English-language articles published until 21 July 2022. Fifteen studies were included. On CEUS examination, a significantly greater percentage of PAs displayed heterogeneous enhancement texture compared to WTs. Contrarily, the enhanced lesion size, the enhancement margin, and the presence of the enhancement rim did not differ significantly between the entities. Significantly longer normalized mean transit time (nMTT) and time to peak (TTP) were observed in PAs. Contrarily, the mean values of area under the curve (AUC) and time from peak to one half (TPH) were significantly higher for WTs. Due to the considerable overlap among the qualitative CEUS characteristics of PAs and WTs, the reproducible, investigator-independent quantitative CEUS measurements have a greater potential to distinguish PAs from WTs, which might influence the selection of an appropriate management strategy.
