Overview

 Many cases of sialolithiasis may not be cured by using medical therapy alone; invasive, or open surgery methods can be used for the salivary gland stones. Most common used methods are sialoendoscopy, laser lithotripsy, and stone removal with wire basket. If all of above methods fails, open surgical intervention should be used.

Surgery

Minimally invasive management

Sialoendoscopy[1]

Sialoendoscopy can be used in the diagnosis of small stones, and differentiate them from polyps.

In the case of no response to medical management, sialoendoscopy can be done. The treatment result using sialoendoscopy, mostly depends on the size of the stone.

Laser lithotripsy[2]

Can be used before sialoendoscopy in order to fragment salivary stones.

Stone removal with wire basket[3]

Surgical intervention 

If all of above methods fails, surgical intervention can be used.[4]

  • For the submandibular stones, a transoral approach can be used.
  • In some proximal submandibular stones, a combination of sialoendoscopic and open intraoral techniques, may be used.
  • For parotid stones, if sialoendoscopy did not worked, open surgery should be done.
