Abstract

Purpose: To describe the use of endoscopy as a technique for diagnosing and treating sialolithiasis. Sialolithiasis is a common pathology of the major salivary glands, yet its accurate detection and treatment is still intriguing. Patients and Methods: Eight cases of sialolithiasis were treated with our new technique which combines endoscopy and treatment. Two illustrative patients treated by this technique are described in detail. Conclusion: Endoscopy, has gained popularity in most surgical fields. We found that the available standard equipment used for TMJ arthroscopy can be used for exploration and extraction of calculi from the salivary ductal system.
