Introduction Have you ever experienced a painful lump near your jaw? This could be due to salivary stones. These stones affect salivary glands and natural saliva flow, causing pain and swelling, especially while eating.

Traditional Treatment Challenges Traditional methods required extensive surgery. Side effects included limited mouth opening, pain, and swelling. Even minor side effects were common with traditional approaches.

Introduction to Sialoendoscopy A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat salivary stone disorders. Offers a less painful and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.

Symptoms include pain and swelling while eating, a lump under the tongue, and dry mouth. What are Salivary Stones? Not actual stones, but mineral deposits in salivary glands or ducts. Typically composed of calcium, caused by factors like dehydration, poor oral hygiene, and inconsistent medical care.

Understanding Sialoendoscopy Uses a thin, flexible endoscope. Endoscope inserted into the affected duct via a small incision or natural mouth opening. Allows direct viewing and precise diagnosis of the stone and surrounding tissues.

Advantages of Sialoendoscopy Gland Function Preservation: Avoids removal of salivary glands, preserving their function. Reduced Risk of Complications: Precise stone targeting minimizes damage to surrounding tissues or nerves. Minimally Invasive: Less pain, quicker recovery, reduced risk of complications. Precise Diagnosis: Clear vision for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Conclusion Sialoendoscopy offers a revolutionary approach to treating salivary stones. Minimally invasive, precise, and effective, it reduces pain and recovery time. Highly recommended for individuals suffering from salivary stones for quick relief and preservation of gland functions.
