About Sialoendoscopy

Sialoendoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure performed by an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist to examine and treat disorders of the salivary glands and their ducts. Using a very thin, flexible endoscope with a camera and light source, the surgeon enters the natural openings of the salivary ducts in the mouth. This allows for direct visualization of blockages, such as stones (sialolithiasis), strictures, or inflammation, without the need for external incisions. The procedure can often be used to simultaneously remove stones, dilate narrowed ducts, or flush out debris, effectively relieving pain, swelling, and recurrent infections. It is a significant advancement over traditional open surgery, offering a quicker recovery, less pain, and preservation of the salivary gland function.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

Ishaan Singh, a 28-year-old software engineer...

Ishaan Singh, a 28-year-old software engineer from Mumbai, had been struggling for over a year with recurrent, painful swelling under his right jaw, especially when eating. It started as an occasional nuisance but became a weekly ordeal, disrupting his work and social meals. His local doctor diagnosed recurrent sialadenitis of the submandibular gland. After multiple courses of antibiotics provided only temporary relief, he was referred to an ENT specialist. The specialist explained that a small stone was likely blocking his salivary duct and recommended a sialoendoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure to look inside and remove the blockage. Ishaan was anxious about surgery but relieved at the prospect of a solution. The procedure, done under general anesthesia, was quick. The doctor used a tiny camera and instruments through the natural duct opening in his mouth, avoiding external cuts. He found and removed a 3mm stone. Recovery was remarkably smooth. The swelling and pain vanished immediately. Within days, he could eat his favorite spicy foods without fear. Emotionally, Ishaan transformed from feeling frustrated and restricted by his unpredictable condition to feeling liberated and grateful for modern, precise medical techniques that gave him his life back.
