Purpose Of Review: Chronic sialadenitis can affect patients of all age ranges and typically presents as recurrent or chronic painful swelling of the salivary glands. In children, the most common cause of sialadenitis is juvenile recurrent parotitis. Salivary stones, or sialolithiasis, are a much less common cause. Historically, for patients with chronic sialadenitis who failed conservative management, salivary gland removal was the standard treatment option. Recently, however, sialendoscopy has emerged as an effective gland-preserving procedure for sialadenitis evaluation and treatment in adults and children. The aim of this review is to discuss pediatric sialadenitis evaluation and treatment, including sialendoscopy indications, technique, and outcomes.
Recent Findings: Sialendoscopy is a well tolerated and effective treatment for sialadenitis Sialendoscopy and salivary duct irrigation have been shown to improve frequency and severity of sialadenitis episodes in patients with juvenile recurrent parotitis. Salivary stones are managed successfully with endoscopic and combined endoscopic-assisted open approaches. Minimally invasive approaches with sialendoscopy have improved the ability to preserve salivary glands in patients with recurrent sialadenitis.
Summary: Sialendoscopy is a well tolerated and effective procedure for recurrent sialadenitis in children.

Objective: Sialendoscopy is a procedure used to remove salivary stones intraorally using a sialendoscope. In this study, we identified treatment outcomes of sialendoscopic surgery and identified predictive factors for successful stone removal by sialendoscopy alone.
Methods: We assembled the medical records of 144 patients who underwent sialendoscopic surgery for submandibular gland sialolithiasis at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Asahikawa Medical University, from October 2010 to November 2021, and collected patient backgrounds, medical condition, perioperative factors including operation method and complications, postoperative course, and stone constituents from a clinical laboratory testing company.

Background: The symptomatic (swelling and pain) salivary gland obstructions are caused by sialolithiasis and salivary duct stenosis, negatively affecting quality of life (QOL), with almost all candidates for clinical measures and minimally invasive sialendoscopy. The impact of sialendoscopy treatment on the QOL has been little addressed nowadays. The objective is to prospectively evaluate the impact of sialendoscopy on the quality of life of patients undergoing sialendoscopy due to benign salivary obstructive diseases, measured through QOL questionnaires of xerostomia degree, the oral health impact profile and post sialendoscopy satisfaction questionnaires.

Introduction: Recent advances in Otolaryngology have changed the diagnosis and therapy for salivary gland disorders. Sialendoscopy-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive, conservative procedure for functional preservation of the affected gland. The goals of this study are to assess the indications, use, and outcomes of pediatric sialendoscopy at a tertiary pediatric institution as well as to analyze the direct cost related to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with sialolithiasis and Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis managed with sialendoscopy.

There is plethora of treatment options for surgeons dealing with salivary stones. During recent decades, emphasis has been laid on gland-preserving minimally invasive techniques for stone removal. In this context, visualization of salivary ducts with semirigid endoscopes for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, the so-called sialendoscopy, has become increasingly important.

Introduction: The aim of this paper is to present our experience with combined endoscopic-transcutaneous approach in terms of effectiveness and safety in patients with large or impacted parotid stones.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective study carried out from August, 2012 to February, 2017 analyzing 21 patients with parotid sialolithiasis. The indication of combined approach was either failed attempt to remove the stone endoscopically, large size (>4mm), or impacted stone.
