Abstract
Sialendoscopy is a relatively new procedure introduced for the treatment of chronic obstructive diseases of the salivary glands. Traditional approach consists of excision of salivary gland for a pathology in the duct. Sialendoscopy involves visualisation of the lumen of the affected salivary duct with help of miniature semi rigid 0 degree telescope. Interventional sialendoscopy preserves gland function and relieves the obstruction resolving symptoms in these patients. We conducted a prospective study of 30 patients suffering from obstructive salivary gland diseases to assess advantages, intraoperative findings and complications of sialendoscopy. Conclusion: Sialendoscopy should be the first line of treatment for patients with obstructive salivary gland diseases. It is safe, effective and has low risk of complications. The high cost of equipment and paucity in training centres are the deterrents to this procedure being performed more commonly
