Drooling is a distressing symptom. It is usually found in children suffering from cerebral palsy, but may also be encountered in healthy children. There are different known surgical methods to stop drooling. We think that the most adequate method to stop drooling in healthy children is the transposition of Wharton's duct to the floor of the mouth, behind the posterior pillar of the tonsil. In our department, 7 healthy children suffering from drooling underwent this operation with good results. The surgical procedure is fully described and the literature on the subject is reviewed.
流口水是一种令人苦恼的症状。它通常见于患有脑瘫的儿童，但健康儿童也可能出现。目前有多种已知的手术方法可用于止涎。我们认为，对于健康儿童而言，最适当的止涎方法是将颌下腺导管转移至口腔底部、扁桃体后柱后方。在我们科室，7名患有流口水问题的健康儿童接受了该手术，效果良好。本文对手术过程进行了全面描述，并对该主题的文献进行了综述。
