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 AND OBJECTIVES To report the first experiences with a newly available Ho:YAG laser system for the treatment of salivary stones. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study in a tertiary referral center was conducted. Patients diagnosed with sialolithiasis were treated in Erlangen using the Calculase III™ Ho:YAG laser (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany). Preset parameters had a frequency of 4 Hz and energy of 0.8-1.2 J, resulting in 3.2-4.8 W. Following total fragmentation, one to two serial sialendoscopies were performed to achieve complete fragment clearance. RESULTS A total of 55 stones in 49 patients were treated; 17 stones in 15 submandibular glands and 38 in 34 parotids. In total, 61 laser lithotripsies (range 1-3 per stone) were performed using various modes (long, short, and burst) and with preset parameters of 4 Hz and energy of 0.8-1.2 J, resulting in effective power of 3.2-4.8 W. Complete fragmentation was achieved in all the accessible stones. Sialendoscopes, fibers, or the mode used had no significant influence on success rates. A multimodal therapy concept was employed to treat stones in 12.24% of the cases; 95.92% of the patients were ultimately stone-free, and all became symptom-free. All glands were preserved. CONCLUSIONS The new Calculase III™ Ho:YAG laser was effective in the treatment of sialolithiasis with no increased risk of complications in the patients or damage to the sialendoscopes. Clinical factors such as the type of gland involved, or the location and size of stones had a greater impact on success rates than the technical or preset parameters. Lasers Surg.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the recurrence rate of lithiasis following minimally invasive surgery to identify risk factors and mechanisms for recurrence of salivary gland lithiasis. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted including all patients treated for salivary gland lithiasis by minimally invasive surgery, such as sialendoscopy, intracorporeal lithotripsy, extracorporeal lithotripsy, transoral approach, and combined approach in our Department. We analyzed the recurrence rate of salivary lithiasis, their topography and timeline. RESULT Three hundred four patients were included in this study, the mean age was 49 years (range 12-90 years), and the mean duration of follow-up was 19.8 months (range 0-66 months). Fifteen patients (5%) presented secondary lithiasis. In all but one case, recurrences involved the same gland as primary lithiasis, and most frequently the submandibular gland. Recurrences occurred from 3 to 46 months postoperatively. Fourteen patients, who presented recurrence, had been initially treated by transoral approach. Recurrent lithiasis were treated by transoral approach or submandibulectomy. CONCLUSION Salivary gland lithiasis recurrence was rare after minimally invasive salivary gland surgery. This study reinforced the concept that salivary gland lithiasis should be considered as a duct pathology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 131:794-799, 2021.

Abstract
Introduction: Sialolithiasis is defined by the presence of a calculus within the salivary gland or its excretory system. It primarily affects the submandibular gland at a frequency of 80%. Involving many factors, the exact aetiology and pathogenesis of salivary calculi remain to be discussed. Body: The purpose of this article is to expose the different aspects of the pathology. Aetiological factors, the diagnostic approach which requires the use of imaging tests as well as the medical and surgical management of anterior submandibular sialolithiasis, will be described. A decision tree regarding the type of management and a table summarizing the main differential diagnoses will be proposed. Conclusion: Submandibular sialolithiases are a common salivary gland disorder. The treatment of sialolithiasis must be early and remains mainly surgical. The level of cooperation as well as the patient's medical and surgical history should guide the management of this type of disorder of the salivary system.

Abstract
Sialolithiasis are the most frequent salivary gland disease, mainly affecting the submandibular gland. With the advent of minimally invasive techniques, total salivary gland removal should not be considered as the first-line treatment anymore. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is an alternative to surgery preserving the gland. The objective of our retrospective study was to evaluate the efficiency of ESWL on pain and obstructive syndrome in patients suffering from sialolithiasis. The global result felt by the patients was also considered. All patients treated between October 2009 and July 2016 for sialolithiasis by ESWL in our department were included. They were divided into two groups according to the concerned gland: a parotid gland (PG) and a submandibular gland (SMG) group. Our retrospective telephone questionnaire consisted in 4 questions about their symptomatology before and after ESWL, including pain self-evaluation before and after treatment. They were finally asked to evaluate the global result of the ESWL treatment: excellent, good, mean, or poor. In total, 55 patients were included in this study, 38 patients in PG group and 17 patients in SMG group. We observed a decrease of pain and obstructive syndrom after ESWL procedure in both groups. Better results were found on the obstructive syndrome in the PG group. Very few side-effects were reported by patients. Given that it has very few side effects, ESWL can easily be considered as first line treatment for sialolithiasis to avoid heavier treatments such as surgery. It should be the first-line treatment for symptomatic parotid sialolithiases. The treatment of symptomatic submandibular sialolithiases depends on the topography of the lithiasis.

Abstract
It has been suggested that a conservative trans-oral approach to proximal and hilo-parenchymal submandibular stones (HPSMS) is a valid alternative to the more frequently used sialadenectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical, ultrasonographic and patients' subjective outcomes of results of the trans-oral removal of HPSMS. Between January 2003 and September 2015, sialendoscope-assisted trans-oral surgery was used to remove symptomatic, large (> 7 mm), fixed and palpable HPSMS from 479 patients under general anaesthesia. All patients were followed clinically and ultrasonographically to investigate symptom relief and recurrence of stones, and were telephonically interviewed to assess saliva-related subjective outcomes with a questionnaire. Stones were successfully removed from 472 patients (98.5%); the seven failures (1.5%) concerned pure parenchymal stones. One year after the procedure, 408 patients (85.1%) were symptom free, 59 (12.3%) had recurrent obstructive symptoms and 12 (2.6%) had recurrent infections. Of the 54 patients who developed a recurrent stone (11.2%), 52 underwent a second procedure: 29 interventional sialendoscopies, two sialendoscope-assisted intra-corporeal pneumatic lithotripsy, eight secondary transoral surgery to remove residual stones, six a cycle of extra-corporeal lithotripsy and seven submandibular sialadenectomy. Most patients (75.2%) reported mild surgery-related pain. The symptoms of 454 patients (94.8%) improved after adjunctive treatment and, at the end of follow-up, the affected gland was preserved in 98.5% of patients. A sialendoscope-assisted trans-oral removal of large HPSMS is a safe, effective, conservative surgical procedure, and functional preservation of the main duct and parenchyma of the obstructed gland allows sialendoscopic access through the natural ostium in case of recurrence. Combining a trans-oral approach with other minimally invasive, conservative procedures ensures symptomatic relief and salivary duct system clearance in the majority of patients.

Abstract
The traditional management of obstructive salivary disorders has been replaced by minimally-invasive gland-preserving techniques including shock-wave lithotripsy, sialendoscopy, interventional radiology and endoscopically video-assisted trans-oral and cervical stone retrieval, of which sialendoscopy is considered to be the method of first choice. Primary endoscopically controlled stone extraction without prior fragmentation is only possible in 15-20% of cases; in more than 80%, fragmentation is necessary because of the size, impactation and location of the stone, or an alternative treatment such as transoral duct surgery or combined approaches are required. Moreover, about 10-20% of all stones cannot be adequately accessed by means of a sialendoscope or any alternative surgical method and, in such cases, extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the treatment of choice. However, in endoscopically accessible stones, ESWL is being gradually replaced by endoscopically assisted intra-corporeal techniques, including endoscopically guided laser and pneumatic intracorporeal lithotripsy. We describe the currently most widely used techniques for salivary lithotripsy, including ESWL, and endoscopically guided laser, electrohydraulic, electrokinetic and pneumatic intra-corporeal lithotripsy, and discuss their indications given the widespread use of advanced rehabilitative sialendoscopy and combined therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sialendoscopy has changed the management of obstructive sialadenitis. Nowadays, minimally invasive techniques evolve to preserve salivary gland function. Intraductal lithotripsy allows stones fragmentation and retrieval without opening the salivary duct. We report our experience with the StoneBreaker (SB), a new lithotripter with improvement using a sterile bag that permits reuse of the SB without passing to sterilization. TECHNICAL NOTE The non-sterilized SB was used into a sterile camera sleeve in 5 patients, 3 submandibular lithiases and 2 parotid lithiases. Technique and outcomes were described with a review of the literature. An explanatory video of the procedure was performed. DISCUSSION Complete fragmentation was achieved and all fragments were extracted without any ductal damage. Utilization of the sterile sleeve did not change the SB efficiency and the procedure duration. The use of a sterile bag allowed several consecutive procedures with a single non-sterilized handpiece. However, the gas cartridge change may be more delicate when more than 80 impacts are needed. Patients remained symptoms and stones free one month after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To assess the long-term results after transoral submandibulotomy for stones located in the deep hilar and intraparenchymal submandibular region. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis. METHODS Retrospective evaluation including all patients treated with transoral submandibulotomy for sialolithiasis at a tertiary referral center. RESULTS Complete stone removal at the first transoral surgical treatment was achieved in 185 of 234 patients (79.1%). One hundred seventy-five of the 234 patients were followed up for a mean of 31.2 ( ± 20.5) months. During the follow-up period, 140 of the 175 patients (80.0%) became symptom free after one operation. In patients with residual symptoms, no further treatment was needed in 12 patients (6.9%) due to the mildness of the symptoms; 23 patients (13.1%) received further therapy, which was successful in 15 cases. Submandibulectomy only had to be performed in 3.4% of the patients with follow-up (6/175). In a questionnaire survey, 91.4% of the patients stated that they would be prepared to have the same operation again. CONCLUSIONS These findings show that transoral removal of submandibular sialoliths located in the deep hilum or adjacent intraglandular parenchyma is an effective treatment that can be assisted by additional measures. The techniques described show high success rates, good long-term results, low complication rates, and they avoided the need for submandibulectomy in >95% of cases. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sialendoscopy, extracorporeal lithotripsy and transoral removal are the usual treatments for parotid lithiasis. These techniques cannot treat all the patients. In fact, removal of lithiasis bigger than the ductal diameter and situated in the middle or posterior third of the duct may fail with such techniques. For this reason the combined approach has been developed. Our technical note describes this procedure. TECHNICAL NOTE Preoperative check-up needs an ultrasound or a CT scan of the parotid region. The procedure is conducted under general anesthesia. It begins with the localization of the lithiasis with help of the sialendoscope light visible through the skin. A face lift approach is performed giving access to the SMAS that is opened over the lithiasis and the transilluminated area. A window is opened on the duct and the lithiasis is removed. Proximal duct permeability is assessed with the sialendoscope. The different layers are sutured and a suction drainage is left in place. DISCUSSION Combined approach is indicated in case of failure of conservative techniques. It provides good results in removal of lithiasis located in the posterior or middle thirds of the duct. Its morbidity is low. It can avoid performing a parotidectomy and lowers the risk of facial palsy. In case of failure, botulinum toxin injection may be indicated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is mainly an alternative for other therapeutic methods such as surgery and endourology to treat urinary tract calculus. Although it is safe and effective, it has undesirable effects on renal function. Diagnostic techniques such as color Doppler ultrasonography create a new attitude toward renal function. The aim of this study was to evaluate renal vascular resistance change before and after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. METHODS During the present study, vascular resistive index (RI) of renal intralobar artery was measured before, 30 min, and 1 week after ESWL using Doppler ultrasonography. RESULTS Thirty minutes after ESWL, RI was significantly increased from primary value of 0.62 ± 0.05 to 0.66 ± 0.06 (p = 0.0001). There was no correlation between increase of RI and patients' age. Following up the patients revealed that mean RI did not return to pretreatment level after 1 week (p < 0.05). The RI level in the old patients (3 patients who were 60 years or older) was higher than that of the younger ones (19 patients who were younger than 60 years) after 1 week (0.76 ± 0.05 vs. 0.64 ± 0.06). There was no meaningful relationship between ESWL voltage or number of shocks and RI variation before and after ESWL. CONCLUSION Following ESWL, patients are at risk of renal tissue damage due to increase of primary RI level. Measuring RI variations using ultrasound techniques after ESWL may provide helpful information to clinical detection of renal tissue damage.

Abstract
Objective Sialendoscopy and other gland-preserving techniques such as extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), transoral stone removal, and combinations of these methods have fundamentally changed the therapeutic approach to salivary stones. Since 2003, all patients presenting with sialolithiasis have been diagnosed and treated with the same algorithm and routine salivary gland endoscopy (SGE). Study Design Case series with chart review of patients with sialolithiasis treated between 2003 and 2008 using an algorithm for gland preservation. Setting Tertiary referral academic medical center. Subjects and Methods A total of 1154 patients with suspected sialolithiasis were identified and reviewed. Factors analyzed included stone location, size, surgical method, rate of stone clearance, complications, and rate of short- and long-term symptom resolution. Successful treatment was defined as freedom from symptoms at follow-up. Results Diagnostic sialendoscopy confirmed 221 parotid stones and 812 submandibular stones, of which 206 and 736, respectively, were treated. Transoral stone removal was the most frequently used method to remove submandibular stones (92%), with a smaller percentage able to be removed by SGE alone (5%) with long-term success rates ≥90%. Only 4% (29/736) required submandibular gland removal. Parotid stones were removed by SGE (22%), combined SGE and incisional technique (26%), or ESWL (52%), with long-term success rates of 98%, 89%, and 79%, respectively. Only 8 of 206 (4%) patients eventually required parotidectomy. Conclusion Salivary gland endoscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of sialolithiasis but must be combined with additional techniques to ensure a high rate of stone clearance, symptom resolution, and gland preservation.
