Abstract
Transplanted SMGs obstruct for various reasons. Stone, which is easy to diagnose and treat, should be excluded first. Non-organic blockage and stenosis were semblable in clinic. Therefore, subsequent steps should be a diagnostic/therapeutic trial of secretory stimulation, followed by irrigation; failure of these interventions suggests the diagnosis of duct stenosis, necessitating surgical recanalization.
