Abstract

Abstract : Program Description: Sialendoscopy is recognized as a first‐line option in the management of salivary stones. The role of sialendoscopy in nonstone disorders is less clear. This miniseminar focuses on the indications and applications of sialendoscopy for nonstone disorders including ductal scar and trauma, Sjogren disease, radioiodine sialadenitis, and recurrent juvenile parotitis. The moderator will present cases of nonstone disorders to a panel of experts in order to determine their use of sialendoscopy in the management of these disorders. The discussion will conclude with a brief overview of the current best evidence of the role of sialendoscopy in the management of nonstone disorders. Educational Objectives: (1) Recognize which nonstone salivary disorders may benefit from sialendoscopy. (2) Learn techniques for applying sialendoscopy to nonstone disorders. (3) Understand the outcomes and limitations of sialendoscopy in the management of nonstone disorders.
