Abstract

The present work concluded that the most suitable seat for fixation of the parotid papilla, was the lateral conjunctival fornix. Ample space was present for fixation of the papilla and the applied stitches are far away from the cornea. The ventral conjunctival fornix was also suitable for fixation of parotid papilla. The fixation of the parotid duct to the upper conjunctival fornix was a difficult procedure, needs more subcutaneous distruction and end with twisting and obstruction of the transported parotid duct in dogs.
