What Is Sialendoscopy?

Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the salivary ducts. Instead of making cuts or removing the salivary gland, doctors use a thin endoscope with a mini camera to reach inside the salivary duct and directly treat the issue.

This method is commonly used for:

• Salivary stones (sialoliths)
• Duct blockages
• Recurrent gland swelling
• Infections due to obstruction
• Duct narrowing (stricture)

Because it avoids traditional surgery, sialendoscopy ensures faster recovery, less pain, and no visible scars, making it one of the safest modern ENT procedures.
