Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Standardization of Basket Use in Sialendoscopy: A Ten-Year Retrospective Study

Published on: June 6, 2025

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Salivary Gland Disorders

Background:

  • Persistent sialadenitis and sialolithiasis can occur after parotidectomy or submandibular gland excision.
  • Management of these conditions in patients with prior surgery presents unique challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of diagnostic and interventional sialendoscopy.
  • To assess its utility in patients with persistent symptoms following salivary gland excision.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of five patients.
  • Review of medical records, including clinical, radiological, and operative data.
  • Sialendoscopy performed for persistent sialadenitis and/or sialolithiasis post-salivary gland surgery.

Main Results:

  • Four out of five patients experienced successful interventional sialendoscopy with symptom resolution.
  • Successful stone extraction was performed in four patients, including one previously unrecognized stone.
  • No complications or sequelae occurred; one patient had initial difficulty with cannulation due to scarring.

Conclusions:

  • Sialendoscopy is a safe and effective treatment for persistent sialolithiasis and sialadenitis after salivary gland excision.
  • It offers a valuable minimally invasive option for managing recurrent salivary gland issues post-surgery.
