Abstract:
Sialoendoscopy is a valuable technique for a variety of obstructive and nonobstructive disorders of the major salivary glands. However, the utility of sialoscopes is limited for salivary stones, which frequently required open removal. Transoral sialolithotomy without scopes is an efficient, low-cost alternative with excellent outcomes available for most of the submandibular stones.
