Very small salivary glands into the mouth of the channels drop camera systems (endoscopes) with the process of visualizing the inside of the channel by entering the “salivary gland endoscopy”, “sialendoscopy” or “siyalendoskopi” is called. Salivary gland ducts in conjunction with the instruments, endoscopes are inserted in channels tissue residues can be removed with the help of small stones or drug applications, or the washing process is carried out in the region of the stenosis or the channel can be expanded.
Endoscopic View of the salivary ducts and Sialendoskop
For the first time at the end of the 1990s with a thin endoscope introduced for understanding the cause of obstruction in the salivary ducts by entering this method, an endoscope of the endoscope over time and the more subtle side as a result of surgical instruments that can be used from very thin in order to intervene in the development of diseases began to be applied. Maximum applied sialendoskopi was to investigate the problems that cause swelling and pain in the salivary glands is the reason. The problem identified in salivary stone or stricture can be treated during the same procedure in case of.
Siyalendoskopi today, under the chin (submandibu) and the front of the ears (parotid ducts of the salivary glands, causing blockage in the diagnosis and treatment of benign diseases it is accepted as the most effective method, and only in cases of sialendoscopy blockages that prevent the flow of saliva in the duct with 90% can be treated at a rate of up.
Salivary gland salivary gland salivary pathologies causing blockage in ducts duct stones and strictures are less often as of any reasons. In the past, which nowadays is almost always can be treated by surgical removal of the salivary glands with the help of these diseases by protecting sialendoscopy and salivary glands can be treated with high success rates.
After attempts that often do not require hospitalization and can quickly return to normal diet sialendoskopik daily life, and treatment process can be completed with a minimal loss of time possible.
The Advantages Of Sialendoskopi
Under the chin (submandibu) and in front of the ear (the standard surgery for parotid salivary gland , facial nerve function loss, numbness in the mouth, a surgical scar on the neck, facial deformity, as well as full of salivary gland or the channel should not contain the risk of complications such as recurrence of the disease sialendoskopik approach to avoid these complications, as well as with additional benefits can be provided.
The most important advantages of the methods according to standard surgical sialendoskopi;
- Fast recovery
- Very low surgical complication rate
- The risk of permanent nerve damage, lack of
- The lack of a scar on the skin
- Preservation of the normal anatomy and function
- Minimal loss of working time
- Can be ignored as they do not need to be hospitalized
Sialendoscopy Is Applied In Situations Khan?
Stones in the salivary glands and these glands or parotid or submandibu constriction or swelling of a salivary gland infection is frequently detected in the channel and the discharge of all patients with complaints of sialendoscopy as candidates for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
In general, the glands under the jaw parotid gland stones that are 3 mm 4 mm channel in the channel during sialendoscopy was captured and stone forceps or baskets with the help of special holder, or just to have an additional surgery in the region of the mouth opening of the channel they are applied to the channel by making a small incision can be obtained from.
Larger sizes (6-8 mm) stones to be removed for mechanical devices, laser or sound waves are broken into smaller parts that can be taken from the channel with the size of the separation requires. Settled within a salivary gland, or to be removed from the channel, endoscopic, and surgical approaches for operations of crushing stones size even bigger for the accepted together with the way to use the stones may be able to be removed while maintaining the salivary gland.
The salivary canal stenosis in patients with stenosis of the region can be expanded using the balloon catheter, and often endoscopic evaluation in patients with salivary gland infection of the channels, cleaning and washing with a solution containing antibiotics and cortisone can provide significant reduction in the incidence of infection.
