[Salivary gland endoscopy: new limits?].
Sialendoscopy is a new minimally invasive technique allowing exploration of the submandibular and parotid ducts with treatment for sialolithiasis and stenosis. Used for diagnostic purposes, sialendoscopy may be an alternative to classical radiological methods. As an interventional technique, it allows a significant reduction in the number of indications for submandibular and parotid resections.
