Abstract
A modified Wilkie procedure, consisting of submandibular gland resection and parotid duct transplantation, has proven to be successful in controlling drooling in over 90% of 120 patients with cerebral palsy and/or mental retardation. Follow-up ranges from 1-6 yr. The operation is safe, effective and appears to be permanent.
