The first stage is the story of the patient in the diagnosis of salivary gland stones. Sour or bitter foods during meals to increase saliva secretion in patients with stones in front of the ear or under the jaw with painful swelling and the swelling decreased and disappeared after the meal has occurred that report. That is occurring in the salivary ducts clog the channels of the stones slowly growing in early stages of swelling and congestion increases saliva secretion and subsequently followed in the event that begins to become more frequent and prolonged with the increase of the rapidly disappearing. Inflammation often occurs in the salivary glands of stone. With inflammation, fever, pain, altered taste sensation, bacteria from salivary ducts, heat and redness of the skin over the salivary gland and neck lymph node enlargement findings such as monitored.
The examination of patients with salivary gland stones in the ducts of the salivary gland opens into the mouth of the point where (Punk was) typically from glands on the outside of viscous channel monitoring while performing massage with from time to time, or inflamed, it can be seen that salivary secretion containing particles in it. Patients take one in the mouth and neck or cheeks with both hands at a hand with the examination, particularly in the salivary duct can be used to detect large stones from a few millimeters.
Salivary gland stones of 80-90% at a rate of an X-ray structure called direct radiography can be seen with standard X-rays detection is often possible.
Sialendoscopy for the treatment of stones in the use of technology is not almost always during periods of outage or salivary gland salivary stone into the mouth of the channel with an awareness of the existence of the stone surgery removal methods that are applied, it was sufficient for treatment planning. Standard X-rays for patients who can not be confirmed with both the salivary glands and ducts, and evaluate the status of the salivary ducts into the mouth of the places they were opened for the precise diagnosis in X-rays detected substances (contrast) sialografi was considered the most important diagnostic method given in the movies.
Treatment Of Salivary Gland Stones
Today, that provides important benefits for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes sialendoskopi after the entry of a protective salivary gland and minimally invasive approaches have come to the fore. Therefore the size of the stones to be made in the planning of the intervention, the number of settlements as well as salivary gland tissue and the salivary ducts, which provides a more detailed assessment of the status of ultrasonography, computed tomography, and in special cases, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) tests are preferred.
Sialendoscopy for treatment purposes in addition to use within the salivary ducts strictures and stones that cannot be detected by other methods, thickened secretions and provide important benefits in the diagnosis and treatment of problems such as plug connected into debris.
