👉 A tenomyotomy, also known as a sublingual incision (or sublingual puncture), is a surgical procedure in which a small puncture is made into a pocket of tissue beneath the skin called the sublingual ligament. This pocket serves as a protective barrier to prevent infection and allows for better blood flow. Tenomyotomies are often performed on patients with conditions such as ulcers or bleeding disorders, and they can be performed under local anesthesia.
