摘要:
Poor secretion of transplanted submandibular glands (SMGs) during the latent period may cause duct obstruction and affects the surgical outcome. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and systemic side effects of carbachol on transplanted SMG secretion. Twenty-seven patients who underwent SMG transplantation for severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca were treated with subcutaneous injections of 0.2????mg/2????ml carbachol at 10 days, 1 month, and/or 3 months after surgery. The effect on secretion was evaluated by Schirmer test and technetium 99m (
