Background: Mucoceles and ranulas are common benign lesions of salivary gland origin. Different techniques had been described for their treatment; however, most of them are invasive. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of micro-marsupialization in the treatment of mucoceles and ranulas. Methods: The study was conducted on 18 patients with lower lip mucocele and 8 patients with ranula of the floor of the mouth. After topical anesthesia, the lesion was punctured by 3/000 black silk suture and followed for evaluation of healing. Results: Complete resolution was noted in 83.33% (15/18) of cases of mucoceles and three recurrent lesions were surgically excised. In 80% (12/15) of the cases, the healing accomplished within one week, 13.33% (2/15) of the cases showed complete healing within two weeks and only one case (6.67%) healed within three weeks which was associated with infection. On the other hand, complete resolution of ranula lesions was noted in six cases and only two cases showed recurrences and then a complete surgical excision of the lesions with associated sublingual salivary glands was performed. In 66.67% (4/6) of cases the healing was achieved within one week, 16.67% (1/6) of cases showed complete healing within two weeks and 16.67% (1/6) of cases showed complete healing within three weeks which was associated with bleeding. Conclusion: Micromarsupialization is simple and good noninvasive treatment option for mucoceles and ranulas and is well-tolerated by the patients with minimal recurrence rate of the lesions.
