Acute submaxillitis often involves salivary duct obstruction, primarily by calculi. Sialendoscopy offers a high success rate for early, conservative treatment of these salivary duct issues.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Salivary Gland Surgery

Background:

  • Acute submaxillitis is a common clinical presentation.
  • The underlying cause of submaxillitis requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of salivary duct obstruction in acute submaxillitis.
  • To analyze the characteristics of obstructions and evaluate treatment outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patients with acute submaxillitis (2009-2015).
  • Salivary duct imaging, sialendoscopy, and pathological examination were performed.
  • Treatment involved sialendoscopy, sialendoscope-assisted surgery, or submaxillectomy.

Main Results:

  • 28 out of 29 patients had salivary duct abnormalities, predominantly calculi (27 patients).

  • Calculi were often single, large, and located in the mid-duct.
  • Sialendoscopy was performed on 25 patients with successful outcomes in conservative management.

    • Conclusions:

    • Salivary duct obstruction is a key factor in acute submaxillitis.
    • Sialendoscopy is crucial for diagnosis and effective conservative treatment.
    • Early intervention via sialendoscopy improves outcomes for submaxillitis patients.
