Salivary Endoscopy

What is Salivary Endoscopy (Sialendoscopy)?

Sialendoscopy is a state-of-the-art procedure that allows doctor to inspect the salivary ducts using a micro-endoscope and treat disorders directly. It is a highly effective, safe, and minimally invasive technique.

Key Benefits

• Avoid major surgery: No neck scars or risk of facial nerve damage.
• Preserve the gland: Allows the salivary gland to continue functioning normally.
• Fast recovery: Most patients return home on the same day with minimal discomfort.
• Highly accurate: Direct visual feedback of the duct system.

When is it Recommended?

It is primary recommended for patients suffering from recurrent swelling and pain in the salivary glands (under the jaw or in the cheeks), which is usually caused by salivary stones (sialolithiasis), duct narrowing (stenosis), or chronic inflammation.
