Sialendoscopy Solutions
Minimally invasive treatment of obstructive salivary gland disease
Sialendoscopy, or salivary endoscopy, is a way to directly visualise stones and strictures by entering a gland with a micro endoscope. The procedure allows insertion of stone extractors and other interventional tools. Using a minimally invasive technique, sialendoscopy helps to increase salivary flow and preserve otherwise healthy glands that can be damaged by more invasive, open-surgical techniques.1
