Abstract

Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate different irrigation solutions during sialendos-copy to reduce complaints caused by sialodochitis. Methods: The investigators designed and implemented a retrospective study composed of 94 patients with sialodochitis but no sialolithiasis or relevant stenosis of the salivary duct system. Three different irrigations (normal saline, cortisone single-shot, and cortisone) were used. After the sialendos-copy, the patients were asked about the current status of the affected salivary gland, and the quantity and quality of the gland swelling/inflammation over a follow-up period of 11.6 months (6-24 months). Results: At the time of follow-up, 41 patients (43.6%) no longer had any complaints with the salivary gland in question. In 75.5% of the patients, a satisfying result was achieved. In total, only 3 patients needed submandibulectomy in the course of the study due to persistent complaints. The outcome showed no statistical differences between the mean of the 3 groups (p = 0.149). Conclusion: Sialendoscopy with flushing/lavage seems to be a good treatment option for patients with sialodochitis lacking sialolithiasis. The results of this study suggest that the type of irrigation used during sialendoscopy seems to be secondary. (C) 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel
