Results of Minimally Invasive Gland-Preserving Treatment in Different Types of Parotid Duct Stenosis

Abstract

Stenoses that can be differentiated using sialendoscopy seem to require different minimally invasive treatment. Sialendoscopy-guided rinsing with cortisone is an important basic anti-inflammatory treatment, particularly in inflammatory stenoses. Interventional sialendoscopy with instrumental dilation, transoral ductal surgery or a combination of both are the first choice in fibrous stenoses.
