Rerouting Of Both Parotid Salivary Ducts

Alabama rates for HCPCS 42507

An operation that redirects the drainage tubes of the large salivary glands in front of both ears so saliva empties further back in the mouth. Moving the outlet backward makes saliva easier to swallow instead of pooling at the front of the mouth. Both sides are done in the same operation, most often to control heavy drooling.
