Objective: Sialendoscopy has remained the standard of treatment for sialolithiasis; however, large stones impacted in the submandibular gland hilum often require an intra-oral combined approach.
Methods: Patients treated for submandibular hilar sialolithiasis from 2015 to 2021 at two tertiary centers were stratified into two groups based on the surgical technique: Intraoral Microscopic-Assisted Sialolithotomy (IMAS) versus Robot-Assisted Sialolithotomy and Sialendoscopy (RASS). We compared the characteristics of retrieved stones, surgical success rate, operative time, and post-operative complications in both techniques.
