“…Some recent publications reported success rates of more than 80%, most often after application of Holmium-YAG-lasera and this type of laser was positively rated in terms of its properties of fragmentation. 43 53 54 60 61 . It is not yet known whether salivary stone composition may affect outcomes, but some experimental studies using in vitro models have shown that a Ho:YAG laser seems to be effective in disintegrating stones regardless of the physical and radiological characteristics 62 .…”

“…The typical clinical presentation is salivary gland swelling after eating. Persistent swelling causes pain and trismus; untreated sialolithiasis subsequently leads to the salivary gland atrophy or fistula formation [2]. Giant salivary gland calcui is characterized by salivary duct swelling, without any obvious reason or at meal times.…”

“…Treatment options range from a single probing extraction, extraction with sialographic control using the sialoendoscope, LASER intraductal lithotripsy, lithotripsy extracorporeal shock wave (ESWL), to the surgical techniques combining open duct with endoscopic or glandular removal [14]. In some cases, intraoral sialolithotomy is performed when the stone is solitary and easily palpable through the oral cavity [2]. Surgical treatment has traditionally been used as a treatment modality to restore a physiologic salivary flow [4].…”

“…At the beginning, stones of more than 4 mm in diameter represented the boundaries of an endoscopic approach, but the association with extracorporeal or intracorporeal lithotripsy allowed the removal of bigger stones 9 10 . Nowadays, sialendoscopy is considered a beneficial technique since it is less invasive, has a lower morbidity rate compared to other techniques 11 , and can also be combined with minimal external approaches 12 . Combined endoscopic and external approaches can also be performed with operative microscope and intraoperative nerve monitoring (NIM) systems to reduce complications.…”
