Abstract
There is plethora of treatment options for surgeons dealing with salivary stones. During recent decades, emphasis has been laid on gland-preserving minimally invasive techniques for stone removal. In this context, visualization of salivary ducts with semirigid endoscopes for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, the so-called sialendoscopy, has become increasingly important. This article gives an overview of indications for sialendoscopy and how the procedure is performed. Furthermore, sialendoscopy is discussed in the context of other modalities for salivary stone treatment.
