Popis: The diagnosis of obstructive salivary duct disorders to date has been based on imaging by roentgenography and ultrasound, which do not always yield a precise diagnosis. Sialendoscopy is a new procedure for identifying the cause of obstructive symptoms with direct inspection of the efferent salivary duct system by means of a microendoscope. This new technique does not impose a strain on the patient and is performed under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis.
