Abstract

Ranulas form harmless mucous cysts under the tongue area because of blocked or damaged sublingual salivary gland tubes. The cysts produce problems with movement and feeling which need medical treatment. This medical illustration shows how doctors treated and healed simple ranulas in a patient through surgery. The doctors diagnosed and removed a problem ranula through surgery from a male patient. During treatment we protected important tissues while removing the simple ranula and the patient recovered quickly without major problems. The operated area shows excellent healing without any signs of infection and the patient will fully heal.
