[PMID: 38092608 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2023.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to propose a treatment strategy for intraglandular submandibular calculi based on calculus site. Seventy-three consecutive patients with impalpable intraglandular submandibular calculi were enrolled retrospectively. The calculi were classified as either post-hilar type, central type, or superficial type. Treatment approaches included transoral duct slitting (TDS), interventional basket retrieval (IBR), intraductal laser lithotripsy (ILL), and transcervical lithotomy (TCL). Complete calculus removal with gland preservation was achieved in 64 patients (87.7%). The success rate for post-hilar, central, and superficial calculi was 86.4% (51/59), 90.9% (10/11), and 100% (3/3), respectively. The treatment approach applied in patients with treatment success was TDS in 32 cases, IBR in 20, ILL in nine, and TCL in three. During follow-up (median 17.3 months), one patient experienced gland atrophy and three had ductal stenosis; the remaining 60 patients (93.8%, 60/64) had good clinical outcomes. In the eight failure cases operated by TDS, the deeply situated calculi could not be detached despite the parenchymal incision in five cases, while the procedure was ceased due to the patient's inability to cooperate in the other three cases. In the remaining failure case, the submandibular gland was sacrificed after calculus extraction via TCL. Application of the proposed treatment algorithm might help preserve gland function in patients with intraglandular submandibular calculi.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of sialendoscopy in the treatment of obstructive diseases of the major salivary glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched four databases for literature. The primary outcome assessed was the success rate. Secondary outcomes included the use of supportive devices, number of sialadenectomies and complications. Risk of bias was assessed. Meta-analyses with subgroup analysis were performed. RESULTS In total, 91 studies were included, comprising 8218 patients undergoing 9043 sialendoscopic procedures. The majority of studies had a medium or high risk of bias. The incidence of sialadenectomy varied from 0% to 14%. No major complications were reported. Meta-analysis revealed a weighted pooled success rate of 80.9%. Subgroup analyses showed the weighted pooled success rate in patients with sialoliths (89.6%), stenoses (56.3%), submandibular glands (88.3%), parotid glands (81.2%), patients treated by an endoscopic-assisted transoral removal of a sialolith (86.3%), patients treated by a combined approach of the parotid gland (78.2%), patients with JRP (67.0%) and with RAIS (45.8%). CONCLUSION The success rate of sialendoscopy did not considerably change in the last 9 years. Sialendoscopy is an efficient and safe procedure for the treatment of major salivary gland obstructive disease.

JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2024; 125:101643. [PMID: 37742998 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This retrospective multi-institutional chart review study aims to present results from patients treated with Holmium:YAG laser-assisted sialendoscopic intraductal lithotripsy under local anesthesia. METHODS Preoperative ultrasound and/or CT were used for location and measurement of the stones. Local anesthesia was applied in all patients, Marchal all-in- one 1.3 mm and Erlangen 1.6 sialendoscopes were used. The laser was used with power settings limited by discomfort or pain. Inclusion criteria were stone size (all >5 mm) and fixed stones. RESULTS 42 patients, 48 stones were treated (30 males/12 females), 21 submandibular and 21 parotid. Ages ranged from 20 to 70 years (95 % CI: 43.37-51.58). Mean size was 6.2 mm (95 % CI: 5.71-6.72). Complete fragmentation was achieved in 66.7 % and incomplete in 33.3 %. Out of the incomplete fragmented 14 cases, seven (50 %) remained symptom free on follow-up. Maximum duration was 120 min. Minimum power settings of the laser was 4.8 Watts and maximum 18 Watts. Six patients expressed pain or discomfort that limited power increase and duration of the procedure. Total follow up time was 10 years. There were no major complications such as hemorrhage, nerve paresis or skin ulceration. CONCLUSION The procedure is safe under local anesthesia, well tolerated by most patients and should be used in cases of small fixed and "intermediate-sized" stones as a single modality. Discomfort may limit power settings and duration. The later is the major disadvantage of the method.

Treatment of Sialolithiasis: What Has Changed? An Update of the Treatment Algorithms and a Review of the Literature. J Clin Med 2021; 11:jcm11010231. [PMID: 35011971 PMCID: PMC8746135 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11010231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2021] [Revised: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Treatment for sialolithiasis has undergone significant changes since the 1990s. Following the development of new minimally invasive and gland-preserving treatment modalities, a 40–50% rate of gland resection was reduced to less than 5%. Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL), refinement and extension of methods of transoral duct surgery (TDS), and in particular diagnostic and interventional sialendoscopy (intSE) are substantial parts of the new treatment regimen. It has also become evident that combining the different treatment modalities further increases the effectiveness of therapy, as has been especially evident with the combined endoscopic–transcutaneous approach. In the wake of these remarkable developments, a treatment algorithm was published in 2009 including all the known relevant therapeutic tools. However, new developments have also taken place during the last 10 years. Intraductal shock-wave lithotripsy (ISWL) has led to remarkable improvements thanks to the introduction of new devices, instruments, materials, and techniques, after earlier applications had not been sufficiently effective. Techniques involving combined approaches have been refined and modified. TDS methods have been modified through the introduction of sialendoscopy-assisted TDS in submandibular stones and a retropapillary approach for distal parotid sialolithiasis. Recent trends have revealed a potential for significant changes in therapeutic strategies for both major salivary glands. For the submandibular gland, ISWL has replaced ESWL and TDS to some extent. For parotid stones, ISWL and modifications of TDS have led to reduced use of ESWL and the combined transcutaneous–sialendoscopic approach. To illustrate these changes, we are here providing an updated treatment algorithm, including tried and tested techniques as well as promising new treatment modalities. Prognostic factors (e.g., the size or location of the stones), which are well recognized as having a strong impact on the prognosis, are taken into account and supplemented by additional factors associated with the new applications (e.g., the visibility or accessibility of the stones relative to the anatomy of the duct system).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report initial experience in using a pneumatic lithotripter to treat salivary stones. STUDY DESIGN Level IV retrospective study. SETTING University hospital and tertiary referral center. METHODS A pneumatic lithotripter was used to treat salivary stones after these were diagnosed. Probes with diameters of 0.7 mm were used. Total fragmentation was intended in all stones. Stone fragments were removed using several instruments in serial sialendoscopies to achieve complete stone clearance. RESULTS A total of 62 patients with 77 stones were treated. Forty-three submandibular stones were treated in 34 patients, and 34 parotid stones were treated in 28 patients. An operating pressure of 2.5 bar and a single frequency mode were used. Complete fragmentation was achieved in all but one of the treated stones in both glands (98.7%). Among the patients, 90.32% became stone free and 100% symptom free. Multiple stones were treated in 24.19% of the patients, and multimodal therapy was also carried out in 24.19%. All of the glands were preserved. CONCLUSIONS The pneumatic lithotripter proved to be effective in the treatment of sialolithiasis. Stone size, location, and the gland involved were important clinical factors. The device was sufficient to achieve success without any increased risk for complications in the patients or damage to the sialendoscopes.

Abstract
Background Gland preserving techniques in the treatment of sialolithiasis have continuously replaced radical surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate a multimodal treatment algorithm in the therapy of sialolithiasis and assess improvement of HRQoL perceived by patients. Methods Patients with sialolithiasis were treated by a multimodal treatment algorithm based on multiplicity of stones, stone size, affected gland, and stone position. The therapeutic spectrum ranged from conservative measures, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, interventional sialendoscopy, combined endoscopic-surgical procedures to surgical gland removal as ultima ratio. Outcomes were evaluated by surgeons by means of the electronic patient record and by patients themselves using a standardized questionnaire. Results 87 patients treated for sialolithiasis were comprised in this study. The submandibular gland (SMG) was affected in 58.6% and the parotid gland (PG) in 41.4% of cases. Mean patient age was 41.67 years for SMG and 48.91 years for PG. In over 80% of cases sialolithiasis was associated with classic meal-related pain and swelling. Type and intensity of symptomatic sialolithiasis were not dependent on patient age or gender, nor could a relation between the affected gland and the occurrence of symptoms be demonstrated. Overall, 86.2% of cases were reported as cured using the multimodal step-by-step treatment algorithm. Resection of the affected gland could be dispensed in 98.9% of cases. According to patients pain could be reduced in 94.3% of cases. Conclusions The analyzed treatment algorithm of increasing invasiveness is a favorable and effective tool to successfully treat sialolithiasis in > 86% of cases. For the first time, the present study shows that patient-perceived improvement of HRQoL due to ease of symptoms has an even higher success rate of > 94%.
