Most common nerve injured during submandibular gland surgery?
A)Marginal mandibular nerve
B)Lingual nerve
C)Facial Nerve
D)Hypoglossal nerve
Marginal mandibular > lingual
So finally what is the correct answer for this?
sir in notes I had written lingual so got confused…just wanted to reconfirm and is there any reason why this nerve is more commonly injured?
Just make a correctiin in ur notes…
Lingual nerve is m/c injured nerve while removing or operation on whartons duct ie the duct of submandibular gland…so yes lingual nerve is the m/cly injured nerve in submandibular gland surgery if the the question specifies about whartons duct…
Rohan Khandelwal sir correct me if i am wrong…
