There are 2 types of ranulas: oral ranulas and plunging (cervical) ranulas. The management of the cervical ranula involves surgical excision of the oral portion of the ranula along with the associated sublingual salivary gland. The sublingual gland is easily removed from an intraoral approach. Significant anatomic structures associated with the removal of the sublingual gland are the submandibular duct, lingual nerve, and sublingual artery. Knowledge of the anatomy makes the surgery easier and without complications.
口外型舌下囊肿和口外型舌下腺囊肿。口外型舌下腺囊肿的治疗方法为手术切除口内部分舌下腺及其相连的舌下腺。舌下腺可经口内途径轻易切除。在切除舌下腺的过程中，需要注意避免损伤下颌下腺导管、舌神经和舌下动脉等重要解剖结构。熟悉这些解剖结构可以使手术更简单，减少并发症的发生。
