Technology of sialendoscopy.
Technical developments have taken place since the first endoscopes suitable for sialendoscopy appeared. Now, a variety of endoscopes are available. Ranging from rigid to flexible, each type has its own properties. Light sources, imaging, recording instrumentation, and other equipment used with the endoscopes facilitate or extend the range of their use. Experiences using different endoscopes in more than 300 endoscopies are discussed.
