Abstract
Objectives

Sialoendoscopy is a procedure used to visualize the salivary ducts and their pathology. It can be used either as a diagnostic method to rule out inflammatory processes in the parotid and submandibular glands (diagnostic sialoendoscopy) or to treat pathological areas (stenosis, extract foreign bodies, or sialolithiasis) through the use of appropriate instruments (interventionist sialoendoscopy). We attempt to prove a declining rate of salivary gland excision.

Patients and method

Sialoendoscopy was performed in 8 patients.

Results

Of these, 50% of patients were diagnosed as having sialolithiasis and the other 50% had chronic sialoadenitis. In patients with sialolithiasis, sialoendoscopy allowed the extraction of the calculus in 2 patients (50%). In the remainder, sialoendoscopy provided confirmation of the diagnosis in all cases.

Conclusions

Sialoendoscopy is a new technique for use in the diagnosis, treatment, and post-operative management of sialolithiasis, sialoadenitis, and other salivary gland pathologies.

Resumen
Objetivos

La sialoendoscopia es un procedimiento cuya finalidad es visualizar los conductos salivales y sus procesos patológicos. Se utiliza como método diagnóstico, para descartar procesos inflamatorios de las glándulas (sialoendoscopia diagnóstica) y para tratar áreas patológicas (estenosis, retirar cuerpos extraños o cálculos), mediante instrumental (sialoendoscopia intervencionista). Queremos mostrar la disminución de extirpación glandular.

Pacientes y método

Se estudia a 8 pacientes intervenidos con sialoendoscopia.

Resultados

En el 50% se trataba de sialolitiasis y en el otro 50%, de sialodenitis crónica. En las sialolitiasis la sialoendoscopia intervencionista permitió extraer el cálculo en 2 (50%) casos. En el resto la sialoendoscopia permitió confirmar el diagnóstico en todos los casos.

Conclusiones

La sialoendoscopia es un nueva técnica que nos permite diagnosticar, tratar y hacer un adecuado seguimiento de las sialodenitis, sialolitiasis y otras afecciones glandulares.
