Résumé :

When compared to the parotid duct transposition, the microvascular submandibular salivary gland autotransplantation presents the advantage of providing a more viscous tear substitute, and a basal flow rate unaffected by meals. If future attempts to re-innervate the graft are successful, this procedure could be promising in restoring an acceptable lacrimal function in severe xerophthalmia.
