In sialolithiasis, the lithiasis is often large and located at the junction of the middle and posterior third of the duct, in the hilum region. In such cases, transoral approach for submandibular lithiases (TASL) is a useful treatment of choice in patients with large submandibular stones that can be palpated bimanually.
