Salivary gland diseases are uncommon in both the dog and the cat. Conditions involving the salivary glands include rupture, inflammation, dilation, necrosis, fistula, a foreign body, autoimmune disease, calculi, and neoplasia. The onset of many of these conditions is often insidious, with vague findings on physical examination. Proper diagnosis and treatment is often dependent on aspiration, radiology, and exploratory surgery. Surgical problems associated with salivary gland surgery relate primarily to accurate dissection, complete extirpation of the involved gland(s) and duct system(s), and drainage when indicated. Complications are more often a result of improper diagnosis and iatrogenic interference than the primary disease. The focus of this discussion will be on accurate diagnosis and treatment so that associated problems and complications can be avoided.
唾液腺疾病在犬猫中均不常见。涉及唾液腺的病症包括破裂、炎症、扩张、坏死、瘘管、异物、自身免疫性疾病、结石和肿瘤形成。这些病症中的许多起病往往隐匿，体格检查时发现不明确。正确的诊断和治疗通常依赖于穿刺抽吸、放射学检查和探查性手术。与唾液腺手术相关的外科问题主要涉及精确解剖、完整切除受累腺体和导管系统，以及在有指征时进行引流。并发症更多是由于诊断不当和医源性干预，而非原发性疾病所致。本次讨论的重点将是准确的诊断和治疗，以便避免相关问题和并发症。
