• sialolithiasis

Objectives: We performed a retrospective analysis to contribute to the increasing number of reports on sialendoscopy in the literature and give basic concepts for beginners at the same time
Methods: Between 2004 and 2009, 83 patients with symptoms of ductal obstruction of the major salivary glands were admitted to our clinic Diagnostic and/or interventional sialendoscopy was applied to 60 glands (33 submandibular and 27 parotid) of 54 patients. A holmium yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser or a pneumatic lithotripter was used for intraductal stone fragmentation
Results: Sialendoscopy revealed no disorder in 2 cases, and in 38 glands (28 submandibular and 10 parotid) sialolithiasis was the underlying disease Fifteen glands (5 submandibular and 10 parotid) were found to have other main disorders such as stenosis. synechia, or kink formation Other findings included sialodochitis in 6 glands (2 submandibular and 4 parotid), a polyp in 1 parotid gland, mucus pins in 21 glands (6 submandibular and 15 parotid), ductal ectasia in 4 glands (2 submandibular and 2 parotid), and ductal collapse in 1 parotid gland. The overall interventional success rate was 83% of all cases, and no complications occurred
Conclusions: The success rate of the interventional sialendoscopy performed in the current study shows consistency with the results given in the related medical literature In the am: of sialendoscopy. the adjunctive immoral surgeries can be argued to be safer, easier, and more successful than before Sialendoscopy may be considered to be the best practice not only in sialolithiasis, but also in other treatments of obstructive ductal disorders
