Submandibular stone

Hi
Thanks for the good job.I need some expert opinion if some one can help.I was feeling pain in my submandibular gland and the doctor recomended to have an Ultrasound, which showed that ther are two stone one 6mm and the other 3mm in Size.Unforotunatly the stones are in the hilum of my submandibular gland and he told me that surgery is the only option to remove the whole gland.Is there any other technique available to avoide removal of gland and if I remove my gland what will be the effect in the long run.Should I go for  surgery.Thanks in advance for posting your comments.
