Other minimally invasive procedures such as: transoral CO2 laser surgery of the larynx, endoscopicassisted thyroid surgery, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, and robotic surgery have been made possible through the close co-operation between surgeons and industry. These remarkable advances in our specialty, driven by the development of innovative technology, have made minimally-invasive surgery readily available for the benefit of our patients. The development of the flexible endoscopes, tiny enough to be inserted into salivary ducts was pioneered by Karl Storz. Professor Marchal, in close collaboration KARL STORZ, developed a series of miniaturized instruments which can be inserted through the endoscope to accomplish a variety of important tasks, such as: pulverizing calculi with a laser, retrieving calculi with a forceps or a basket, biopsy of lesions, removing granulation tissue, dilating stenotic ducts, and irrigating ducts clogged with mucous such as those that develop secondary to treatment. The new paradigm in the management of sialadenitis and calculi has in large measure eliminated the need to remove salivary ductal stones or non-malignant salivary glands by open surgery. This new approach has modified our thinking about these problems and has resolved many of the complications inherent in the open approaches. Successful application of sialendoscopy, as with all minimally invasive procedures, requires a well-organized training program. Surgeons from around the world have attended the many courses that Professor Marchal has organized in Geneva and many other countries around the world. In these courses, didactic material is supplemented by a robust “hands-on” animal laboratory experience as well as observation of live surgery dispensed in 3D in the conference room. Such an intensive educational experience is necessary to assure a firm foundation for the surgeon wishing to perform sialendoscopy. Research is another important element in this area of our specialty. The European Salivary Gland Society (ESGS) was formed to promote research in this area, and includes members from: Basic Sciences, Dental and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Pathology and Radiology all of whom have a particular interest in salivary gland disorders. The ESGS organizes courses and conferences, promotes teaching and designs consensus protocols for European Standards through multi-disciplinary efforts.

More than 1000 years later, Abulcasis,75 reported on a pioneering work and instrumentation for what later became known as otolaryngology, ophthalmology and neurosurgery. He described at that time the ranula and its treatment. a 1 Hippocrates (460–370 BC). Further descriptions of salivary gland diseases focused on parotid tumors, although the humoral theory was developed already by Paulus Aeginata64 and by Ambroise Paré,63 a French surgeon of the 16th century. The first description of the ductal system of a salivary gland appeared in the 17th century, with the pioneering work of Thomas Wharton, who published a monograph entitled, ‘Adenographia sive glandularum totius corporis descriptio’82 in 1659. Ever since, the duct has borne his name. The anatomy of the parotid ductal system was discovered shortly thereafter in 1660 during an animal dissection by Nicolaus Stenonius. Van Horne of Leyden demonstrated the anatomy in public and named it after Stenon. Stenon’s main work, ‘De glandulis oris et novis earundum vasis. Observationes anatomicae in iclyta Lugdunensi Academia sub praesidio DD Johannis van Horne”76 was published in 1661, and the parotid duct also bears his name. Casparus Bartholinus (1655–1738), professor of anatomy, first described the sublingual ductal system, which now bears his name.26 b c d 1 Thomas Wharton (1614–1673). 1 Nicolaus Stenonius (1638–1686), Wellcome Institute Library, London. 1 Caspar Bartholin (1655–1738). 1.1.1 History of Endoscopy The first endoscope, of a kind, was developed in 1806 by Philippe Bozzini but not introduced in a human until 1853. In 1911, a procedure termed ‘Laparothorakoskopie’ was introduced. Its use in the abdomen was extended by Heinz Kalk in 1930. In 1953, Karl Storz (1911–1996) developed and produced the first endoscope. In January 1957, Basil Hirschowitz (*1925) invented the glass fiber for use in flexible and rigid scopes, and in this way pioneered flexible endoscopy. The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 1984 and further generalized in the 90’s. e 1 Karl Storz (1911–1996). *) see References: 1–3, 5–7, 9, 12, 14, 17–21, 24, 31, 34–45, 55–57, 62, 65–67, 69–73, 78–81, 83–86 1.1.2 History of Sialendoscopy The first attempts to perform salivary endoscopy in the early 1990’s by Katz33 and Gundlach25 were not followed by wider clinical applications, either on account of poor vision or due to lack of specific instrumentation. The first blind retrievals of salivary stones were performed by radiologists in submandibular (1990) and parotid (1994) glands. In 1994, Nahlieli et al.61 reported on endoscope-assisted retrieval of stones using a hazel-type of scope. In the following period, dedicated instruments were simultaneously developed in two different centers (Marchal, Switzerland – Nahlieli, Israel). Once feasibility of the technique was demonstrated,48, 59 and particularly after start-up of regular training programs at the European Sialendoscopy Training Center in 2002, physicians have been trained using the new method and members of ESTC began to adopt the technique, which is reflected in an abundance of literature.* Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 9 1.2 Disease Process of Sialadenitis Salivary gland pathology can be divided into two categories: tumoral and ductal diseases. The latter is the predominant group comprising mainly stones, strictures, and polyps wheras salivary gland tumors are more rarely seen.10 The etiology of sialadenitis in case of stones remains unclear and various hypothesis have been described. Ductal strictures can be encountered mainly in juvenal recurrent parotidis, in Sjögren syndrom, or, in the absence of an underlying disease process, their cause remains unclear. Strictures can be localized, thin or thick or more generalized in the ductal tree. 1.3 History and|Physical Examination of Sialadenitis Stones and strictures do obstruct the salivary duct and patients present with recurrent glandular swelllings during meals, which can remain transitory or be complicated by bacterial infections. In this case, patients ocassionally have fever, complain of inappropriate taste in the mouth due to purulent discharge, often accompanied by continuous pain- ful swelling of the gland. On physical examination, the gland is swollen and massage of the gland is painful and expresses thick saliva or pus through the papilla (Figs. 2, 3). Manual palpation of the submandibular gland is also painful and sometimes a stone can be palpated intraorally or, more rarely, in the parotid gland by bimanual or external palpation. a 3 Purulent exudate emerging from Stensen’s parotid papilla. 4 Deeply located salivary stone necessitating submandibular resection.

The classical investigation methods of salivary glands are radiography, including X-rays, ultrasound, CT scan and sialography, which up to now is considered as the gold standard37 for evaluation of the ductal system.74 Ultrasound remains an excellent primary diagnostic method for the detection of salivary stones, however calculi with a size of less than 3 mm cannot be visualized.74 Another non-invasive diagnostic option is nuclear magnetic resonance tomography, MR-sialography,3 which provides scans of the salivary ducts by 7 MR-Sialography in chronic sialadenitis, showing a significant stenosis of Stensen’s duct (¤) as well as massive dilation of the intraglandular ductal system. 6 Conventional X-ray image of a 6 mm calculus (¤) at the level of the anterior third of the floor of the mouth (a). Ultrasound examination (b) in the same patient as in (a) shows the calculus (¤) with a characteristic acoustic shadow. The calculus is located in the anterior portion of Wharton’s duct. a opacification of the natural salivary pathways without the need for administration of contrast medium and without exerting the patient to ionizing irradiation. As shown in the figures below, these procedures aim to visualize the ductal system for the diagnosis of obstructive pathologies, typically stones or other rarer diseases. New diagnostic options like 3D-sialography using the technique of cone beam CT with flat panel (CPCT) have been described recently, opening new vistas that certainly are of interest to the field.32, 77 b a Conventional sialography shows a 4 mm calculus (¤) located near the orifice of Wharton’s duct. Note the marked dilatation of the ductal system after administration of contrast media in a retrograde fashion. b MR-sialography of the same patient as in (a) shows the anteriorly located calculus (¤). The ductal system is visualized due to the presence of saliva inside the ductal system (shown in white on T2-weighted sequences) without the need for retrograde injection of contrast medium. a b 8 *) Figs. 5–8 by courtesy of Prof. Minerva Becker, Department of Radiology, University of Geneva, Switzerland. Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 3.0 Diagnostic Sialendoscopy 3.1 LSD Classification System In recent years, sialendoscopy has gained in popularity, which is reflected by the increase of related publications in that period (Table 1). The only existing classification was based on sialographic findings and did not include stones or dilatations. Therefore, the author and team felt the need to develop a classification of pathologies involving the salivary duct system. The acronym LSP stands for ‘lithiasis’ (L), ‘stone’ (S) and ‘dilatation’ (D). The LSD classification system was approved by all members of the ESTC and further ackowledged by other sialendoscopists.12,58 * The classification system is based on endoscopic findings, which is why it can be applied for assessment purposes only after diagnostic sialendoscopy (see Tables 2–4). * (Consensus Meeting on Salivary Gland Diseases, Paris, 2007) 11 Table 1 Number of sialendoscopy-related publications in the past 18 years. 12 Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 3.2 Normal Anatomy of the Salivary Duct System 3.2.1 The Ductal System The new endoscopic techniques described47, 49 and the specific instrument set designed and developed by the author in close collaboration with KARL STORZ allow almost complete exploration of the ductal system of both the submandibular and parotid glands. The main duct of both glands, as well as secondary, tertiary, quaternary and even quinary branches, can be explored in a vast majority of cases. Rare limita- tions include convoluted sections that are impassable with a rigid endoscope. Mobility of the endoscope is also limited at the distal end of the gland due to the mouth opening. Sialendoscopy provides direct, reliable information about most pathologies and reduces the need for radiological investigations. In the author’s opinion, the bevelled-tip multipurpose endoscope is extremely important as it facilitates exploration of smaller branches by smooth dilatation. The option of customizing the semi-rigid multipurpose endoscope (at the risk of the user!) is a key feature, that has shown to be very helpful in exploring wide-angled ramifications. This is the reason why the ‘all-in-one scopes’ at our institution are of semi-rigid type. 9 a b c d e f g a First centimeters of the Wharton’s duct. b Endoscopic view as seen in Wharton’s duct when reaching the sublingual duct junction. c Main duct. d Primary branches. e Secondary branches. f Tertiary branches. g Terminal branches (same endoscopic aspect in both the submandibular and the parotid gland).

Various hypotheses have been proposed. The first is based on the existence of intracellular micro-calculi, which when excreted in the canal, become a nidus for further calcification28, 50. The second theory supposes that ‘mucous plugs’ in the ductal system may represent the nidus. Both hypotheses suggest an initial organic nidus that pro- gressively grows by deposition of layers of inorganic and organic substances. Another hypothesis for the formation of sialolithiasis is that aliments, substances or bacteria within the oral cavity might migrate to the salivary ducts and stimulate further calcification. Mucous plugs are found in cases of sialolithiasis, but also in cases of Sjögren syndrome and in several cases of chronic parotitis in children. 15 mp a Thick mucous plug floating in the main duct.

Multiple stones. According to past autopsy studies60 sialolithiasis is supposed to affect 1 % of salivary glands. However, its frequency is most probably underestimated due to the poor sensitivity of outdated detection methods and absence of treatment options for intraglandular stones, leading to more conservative approaches. 18 According to most published data, salivary stones are localized in the submandibular gland in 80 % to 90 % of cases. In our experience, parotid glands are affected more frequently (30 % to 40 %), a difference possibly explained by the sensitivity of the new detection methods. Sialoliths are composed of organic and inorganic substances, in varying ratios. The organic substances are glycoproteins, muco-polysaccharides and cellular debris. The inorganic substances are mainly calcium carbonates and calcium phosphates.47 Salivary stones can be either solitary or multiple, particularly in the parotid gland. As seen before, their location can be proximal, distal or intra- a c Multiple stones. b Various morphologies depending on the site of the stone(s). Oval-shaped parotid stone (a). Ball-shaped submandibular stone (b). glandular. They vary in shape, being either round or irregular. The annual growth rate of established salivary stones has been estimated at 1 mm per year.68 Depending on the size of the stones, they can either float (Fig. 16a) in the lumen, become partially fixed due to irregular shapes or even attach to the ductal wall. In some cases, they are trapped behind a bifurcation (Fig. 16c). Stone shapes vary between the parotid and submandibular glands; stones found in the parotid (Fig. 18a) are often smaller, longer and smoother than the more calcified submandibular stones (Fig. 18b). 16 Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 3.3.3 Ductal Stenosis 19 a Endoscopic view of a concentric stenosis in the second branch of Stensen’s duct. b c Close-up view of the same site as in (a). Stenosis of a third generation Wharton’s duct. According to the LSD classification, strictures can either be localized and thin, large or diffuse. These can be encountered in juvenile recurrent parotidis,17, 19, 21 34, 57, 67 Sjögren syndrom, radiation-induced sialadenitis65 (either after external radiation therapy or as a sequela of radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid carcinoma and precipitating further salivary symptoms and strictures of one or multiple salivary glands). 3.3.4 Polyps and Tumors 20 a Polyps and tumors of the ductal tree are of very rare occurrence. They can be benign or malignant. In case of malignant tumors,22 the prognosis is relatively poor and any suspicious sign on endoscopy eliciting doubts about the nature of the lesion should prompt the sialendoscopist to have histologic analysis be made of the collected specimen.54 b Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 3.4 Classical Approach to Sialadenitis 17 21 3.4.1 Medical Treatment and External Surgery Proximal stones close to the papilla are extracted, whereas glandular resection46 is indicated for deeply located stones (Fig. 4b). In submandibular glands, sialolithiasis still represents 70 % to 90 % of all actual indications13, 23 for glandular resection. Although resection of the submandibular gland is a frequent operation, several reports27 demonstrate a rather high rate of complications – up to 37 %. In rare cases, this may include neurological damage. Parotidectomy is rarely performed for inflammatory conditions in parotid glands, because it remains a tedious procedure and is associated with a higher incidence of post-operative paresis.8, 11, 16 Because of this operation’s higher morbidity, surgeons and, more often, patients are reluctant to proceed with surgery. In case of strictures, usually no other treatments are applied than the medical therapy employed prior to sialendoscopy which consisted of anti-inflammatory medication, massages and administration of sialagogues. One possible reason behind the high rate of submandibular resections may be the common opinion that submandibular glands with sialolithiasis (chronic infections) should be removed because they are non-functional. In a clinical-histological study47 on 48 patients with sialolithiasis who were treated by resection of the submandibular gland, the clinical history was correlated with the histological alteration of the gland. a The authors found out that up to one-half of the patients had subnormal histology patterns, and that there was no correlation between the number of infectious episodes and the alteration of the gland. Therefore, numerous infectious episodes or a long duration of symptoms cannot be used to predict the degree of glandular alteration, and thus a conservative attitude toward sialolithiasis appears justified. b Normal histological appearance of a submandibular gland specimen (a). Histologically confirmed alteration of glandular tissue (b). 3.4.2 Extracorporeal Lithotripsy 22 In search of conservative approaches toward the treatment of sialolithiasis, a new technique was developed in the 1990s, namely extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy30 (e.g., by use of the extracorporal lithotriptor MINILITH® SL; STORZ MEDICAL AG, Kreuzlingen, Switzerland). Success rates vary from 40 % to 75 % for the submandibular (Fig. 22) and parotid glands, respec- tively. Performed on an outpatient basis, this technique is now widely practiced but often requires multiple sessions. The main problem remains the clearance of fragments, which, if incomplete, can become the cause of recurrent sialolithiasis. With its precise focus zone (0.2 x 2 cm) and an in-line ultrasound scanner the MINILITH®SL1 lithotriptor is specifically designed for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of salivary stones. The optimum stone size for effective treatment varies between 2–8 mm in diameter. Even though disintegration of calculi larger than 8|mm in diameter can be accomplished, the gland may reach the limits of its excretion capacity if the amount of residual fragments is too large to be washed out spontaneously by salivation induced by medication. In this case, stone clearance can be protracted and may require repetitive treatment sessions and/or adjunctive minimally invasive sialendoscopic stone removal. Interventional sialendoscopy allows to avoid these problems, as described hereafter. 18 Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 4.0 Interventional Sialendoscopy 4.1 Stone Removal by use of a Wire Basket Following diagnostic sialendoscopy and exposure of the sialolith, the adopted strategy is the same for the submandibular53 and parotid glands,54 although the diameter of the ductal system is smaller in the parotid duct.87 For small stones, less than 4 mm in diameter in submandibular cases and less than 3|mm in parotid cases, extraction is performed with wire baskets of various sizes. The basket is advanced through the working channel of the scope and opened behind the stone. It is then closed over the stone and basket and endoscope are removed altogether in one movement. Papillotomy is performed at the end of the procedure, and it should be kept as minimal as possible.

The first successful endoscopic-guided laser lithotripsy of salivary stones was reported by Gundlach in Germany,26 who, until now, uses two types of lasers for stone fragmentation with a success rate of above 90% for L2 stones of less than 10 mm. Limitations are stones that are only partially visible, or calculi too large in size. Various types of laser systems are suited for laser lithotripsy of sialoliths: The Dye Laser at 350 nm is very useful, as well as the Holmium-YAG Laser at 2104 nm. Laser irradiation may inadvertently cause damage to ductal walls and hidden structures. Therefore, it is mandatory that the laser be operated only under clear vision, continuous flow irrigation and in close contact with the stone while carefully sparing the ductal walls. 25 a b c d e f g h a–h Laser fragmentation and extraction of stone debris by use of a wire basket through a minimal incision made in Wharton’s papilla, followed by complete clearance of the duct. NB: Stone removal should only be performed after complete fragmentation of the sialolith. Attempting to retrieve large stone fragments poses the risk of wire basket entrapment, a situation that cannot be resolved by applying firm traction to the instrument, which – under any circumstances – must be avoided! Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 21 4.3 Sialendoscopic Treatment of Stenosis Strictures are more common in the parotid than in the submandibular gland. The main issue with stricture treatment is the overall diameter of the duct, which is generally less than 1.5 mm. The best way to dilate the stricture is to choose the multi-purpose sialoscope. Following diagnostic sialendoscopy, a guide wire is first introduced through the channel of the scope. The shaft is then removed leaving the guide wire in the duct. The interventional sialendoscope is then passed over the guide wire allowing the scope to be securely advanced. Dilata- tion is accomplished by the beveled type of the scope without causing any trauma. In principle, the same technique can be applied via the guide wire when using the all-in-one scope, however, in order to achieve adequate dilatation, the surgeon needs to have available several scopes of increasing diameter. In clinical practice, we were frequently faced with difficulties to achieve dilatation, though using scopes of increasing diameter (because the all-in-one scope does not have a beveled tip). 26 a Endoscopic view of the stenosis before … d Endoscopic view of the stenosis before … b … and after dilatation. e … and after dilatation. c Close-up view of the completely filled balloon-tip at the catheter’s distal end. f Bougies of various sizes for dilation of stenoses. 22 Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 4.4 Combined Techniques Large salivary stones or impassably dense strictures have always posed a therapeutic challenge that could not be solved by sialendoscopy alone. The advent of external lithotripsy in the early 1990’s opened up the prospects that all stones may become amenable to conservative treatment, however the relatively poor success rates in case of large stones were disappointing. The use of intraductal laser fragmentation had also its limitations in case of large stones. In all these cases, removal of the gland was the last-resort option, which as we all know, is associated with a significant rate of morbidity. Therefore, we proposed a new combined approach using both sialendoscopy and external surgery45 as described below. In close collaboration with KARL STORZ Tuttlingen, Germany, the author has designed specific instruments for use in combined approaches. This set of instruments is currently in production and will be available soon. 4.4.1 Combined Techniques for the Submandibular Gland The sialendoscope is positioned in front of the stricture / stone, which owing to the diaphanoscopic effect provides adequate orienation for the combined external-intraoral approach. First, an accurate mucosal incision is made with meticulous care, followed by a ductal incision, which enables careful dissection of the duct following visualization of the lingual nerve to remove the stone. Concurrent sialendoscopy of the distal part of the gland is extremely important and has proven useful in removing more distally located stones. At the end of the procedure, the duct is approximated by placing one or two nylon sutures. A stent may be introduced in the papilla in order to avoid improper scaring. 4.4.2 Combined Techniques for the Parotid Gland At the author’s insitution, sialendoscopy is also performed with the 1.3-mm allin-one sialendoscope or the diagnostic multi-purpose scope. The sialendoscope is inserted in the duct, stabilized in a position proximal to the lesion, which may be a stricture or a stone. Throughout the next steps of the procedure, the scope may be fixed to the angle of the mouth. The patient is then prepared for a classical parotid approach. We commonly use a facelift approach assisted by intraoperative facial nerve monitoring15, 45 but as an alternative option, a ‘lazy-S’-shaped incision may also be used. The skin is then elevated and a SMAS* flap raised and the U- or T* Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System shaped SMAS flap is then created along the area defined by transillumination. The salivary tissue is then very carefully dissected free with the help of a binocular loup or a microscope in order to expose Stensen’s duct. Constant awareness of proximity to the facial nerve branches is extremely important and particular care must be paid while cutting over the duct avoiding under any circumstances to cause iatrogenic damage to the nerve. Once the incision in the duct has been made, the stone may be removed and/ or the stricture be treated by use of a venus patch. Constant irrigation of the duct is crucial to confirm patency of the ductal sutures. Following wound closure, a pressure dressing is applied. Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 5.0 Technique of Sialendoscopy 5.1 Indications and Contraindications The indications for sialendoscopy are all salivary gland swellings of unclear origin.51, 60 There are no specific contraindications, mostly because sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. Even elderly or unstable patients unable to undergo general anesthesia can benefit from this technique. potential risks of causing perforation and vascular or neural damage. The sialendoscope should only be advanced under adequate vision. Perforations of iatrogenic origin can lead to diffuse swellings of the floor of the mouth. Meticulous attention has to be given to this anatomical area because of the potential risk of a life-threatening increase of the swellings. Despite its apparent simplicity, interventional sialendoscopy is a technically challenging procedure. Maneuvering the rigid sialendoscope is delicate, requires extensive experience and involves certain hazards due to the The main technical limitations of interventional sialendoscopy at the present time are salivary stones in an extreme posterior location, or a fibrosed canal wall with a reduced diameter, which impedes advancement of the endoscope. 5.2 Operating Room Set-up Sialendoscopy can be done as an outpatient procedure in the clinic with the patient sitting in a chair or partially recumbent.52 The author prefers the patient sitting in a chair or lying, which allows for better surgeon mobility. The disadvantage of a fully upright sitting position is that it is associated with an increased risk of vaso-vagal syncope. To be readily prepared for sensitive patients or the incidence of difficulties, an anes- thesia unit should be kept available with the anesthetist on standby throughout the entire procedure. A mobile cart with connections for a video camera, video monitor, digital video recorder (DVR) and printer are on the opposite side of the patient, allowing for direct observation of the surgical procedure. An assistant (physician, nurse or technician) is located on that side and is responsible for performing the perioperative procedures. 5.3 Anesthetic Technique Sialendoscopy generally requires local anesthesia of the papilla and the ductal system. A topical anesthetic paste or spray (10 or 20%) is applied to either Stensen’s or Wharton’s papilla at the beginning of the procedure. After introduction of the sialendoscope, anesthesia of the ductal system is induced with an irrigation solution of Xylocain, Lidocain or Carbostesin 0,5 %. Depending on age and weight of the patient, the total a amount infiltrated should not exceed 40|cc, because of absorption risks. As a rule, diagnostic sialendoscopy can be performed under local anesthesia. Taking into account that interventional sialendoscopy is usually performed in the same setting, sedation or even general anaesthesia can be applied by the anaesthesiologist. This largely depends on the level of difficulty of the individual case. b 27 The patient can rest in a comfortable upright position during the whole course of treatment. 23 24 Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 5.4 Step-by-Step Technique 5.4.1 Parotid Sialendoscopy 1 Local anesthesia of the papilla with an 5.4.2 Submandibular Sialendoscopy 1 Local anesthesia of the papilla with an anesthetic paste or spray (10 or 20%). anesthetic paste or spray (10 or 20%). 2 Introduction of salivary probes of 2 Superficial infiltration of the papilla increasing diameter. with a local anesthetic solution and adrenalin / epinephrine. 3 Introduction of the dilator. 4 Placement of dental tampons in the 3 Introduction of salivary probes of posterior aspect of the vestibule and gingivo-buccal sulcus.

It facilitates reintroduction of the scope in the duct). 7 Interventional sialendoscopy involves the use of laser fibers, stone baskets or balloon dilators. The guidewire may be left in place in the duct throughout the procedure. By removing the endoscope and reinserting the sialendoscope parallel to the guidewire the working channel can be kept open for the use of additional instruments.

Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 25 5.5 Equipment 5.5.1 Salivary Probes Access via the papilla may either involve initial marsupialization60 or by use of a non–traumatic approach. In order to systematically catheterize the papilla without causing any trauma, we developed a complete set of salivary probes which are made of various types of alloys with different levels of rigidity (the smaller diameters are more flexible and have a lower elastic modulus in order to prevent perforations). 5.5.2 Conic Dilator This specially designed dilator should be used instead of a salivary probe for gentle dilation of the papilla without any hemorrhage or trauma. 5.5.3 Hollow Rigid Bougies These bougies allow a blind dilatation of gross stenosis of the main duct, parotid or submandibular duct. The guidewire is inserted first under endoscopic control, traversing the stenotic process, and the sialendoscope removed after having marked the distance to the stenosis. The metallic bougie is then gently inserted, using increasing diameters. 5.5.4 Forceps Custom-made forceps measuring 0.8| mm may also be used to retrieve small salivary stones (11538 TJ) or for taking biopsies in the salivary duct system. Care has to be taken when handling and maneuvering these instruments since they are small and fragile. Thus, very little pressure should be exerted when grasping the sialolith to avoid damage to the instrument. 5.5.5 Sialendoscopes Two types of miniature endoscopes were developed for sialendoscopy. The first generation multi-purpose sialendoscopes comprised two scopes of different size, and various sheaths allowing for diagnostic and interventional sialendoscopy. The second generation sialendoscopes could be called ‘all-in-one endoscopes’ because they have an integrated irrigation channel that may also be used for introducing small-sized operating instruments. Multi-Purpose Sialendoscopes Diagnostic sialendoscopy requires that the miniature endoscope be available in two sizes, 0.75 mm and 1 mm in diameter, for pediatric or stenosed ducts, and adult / nonstenotic ducts, respectively. The irrigation channel is formed by the tiny gap between the scope and the lumen of the examination sheath (11576 KA and 11577 KA with outer diameters of 1 mm and 1.3 mm). Interventional sialendoscopy requires that the examination sheath be replaced by a special operating sheath with irrigation channel and one integrated working channel. Operating sheaths are available in three sizes, with inner diameters of 0.65 mm, 0.9 mm, and 1.15 mm. All-in-one Sialendoscopes These endoscopes may be used for both diagnostic and interventional procedures eliminating the need for changing the instrument. They are available in 4 different diameters. the 0.89 mm-sialendoscope allows for exploration of small pediatric ducts, or fibrous / stenotic ducts. In the hands of the author the device is also used to perform dacryocystorhinostomies. the 1.1 mm-sialendoscope is suited for both diagnostic and interventional procedures with a working channel of 0.4 mm. the 1.3-mm| sialendoscope is the ‘universal’ sialendoscope, as its outer diameter is sized to allow for diagnostic and interventional sialendoscopy of the submandibular and parotid ducts. Its working channel of 0.6 mm allows the passage of baskets or laser fibers. However, the size of the working channel does not permit the use of balloon dilators or forceps. the 1.6 mm-sialendoscope allows the use of forceps. Its outer diameter is designed to allow for endoscopic inspection and treatment of the parotid and submandibular ducts. It is important to note that the lumen of affected ducts is often narrowed owing to inflammatory conditions, making the use of small-diameter sialendoscopes necessary. Therefore, the 1.6| mmsialendoscope may not always be suitable in parotid cases due to the narrow lumen of Stensen’s duct. 5.5.6 Disposable Devices Balloon Dilators Disposable dilators allow for endoscopic-controlled dilatation of localized stenosis, mainly encountered in the parotid ductal system but also in the submandibular gland. In addition, we developed high-pressure balloon catheters designed to treat particularly dense strictures that are not amenable to dilatation when using low-pressure balloons. Great caution should be exercised while insufflating the balloon to prevent undue distension of the duct. Stone Retrieval Baskets The initial trials to remove salivary calculi were performed with dormia baskets designed for use in the field of urology, however this was fraught with the drawback that they did not fit into our scopes, which is why we decided to develop baskets of very thin diameter. Today, a wide range of special baskets are available in different sizes and with various numbers of strands. The latest model that has been developed is the tipless basket including a special handle that can be adapted to the ‘all-in-one’ sialendoscope. 26 Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 5.6 Inherent Limitations of Sialendoscopy The writhing course of the canal puts certain limitations on semi-rigid sialendoscopy, especially if sharply bent curvatures of the duct prevent the scope from being advanced. The main previously described limitation being the size of the sialendoscope has drastically changed since the development of the last generation ‘all-in-one’ sialendoscopes. The variety in sizes now allows for exploration of almost all salivary ducts. Maneuvering within the narrow salivary ducts has to be absolutely atraumatic because of the risk of ductal perforation and unpredictable secondary consequences. Significant trauma to the ductal wall may result in latter stenosis. 5.6.1 Significance of the Tip Design The small angulation, a distinguishing design feature of the tips of all Marchal sialendoscopes facilitates targeted catheterization of branches, whereas with a standard on-axis tip, difficulties may occur when advancing to the branch ahead. A minor deflection may also be given to the sheaths of sialendoscopes 11576 and 11577. After inserting the obturator, the tip may be bent very cautiously, providing the optimal curve. The endoscope must never be deflected. a b It usually follow the curve of the sheath and reverts to its former state after completion of the procedure. 5.6.2 Significance of the Bevelled Tip Catheterization of the papilla is a challenging step of the procedure involving a relatively long learning curve. Once adequate dilatation has been achieved by use of bougies of varying sizes, introduction of the operating sialendoscope is considerably facilitated by the bevelled tip of the sheath since this design feature allows the tip to be used as a dilation probe. 5.6.3 Significance of Late Marsupialization Marsupialization should be completely avoided, particularly at the beginning of the procedure. The irrigation liquid has a dilating effect that provides excellent vision of all ductal branches. Early marsupialization leads to poor visual conditions and makes the technique more difficult to master, because of the irrigation liquid escaping from the ductal system at its opening. Apart from that, marsupialization of the ductal papillae should either be completely avoided, or kept as small as possible to prevent retrograde passage of air and aliments. c 28 The minor deflection of the tip, a distinguishing design feature of all MARCHAL sialendoscopes, facilitates targeted catheterization of branches (b, c), because an on-axis tip (a) usually difficulties may occur when advancing to the next branch. 5.7 Post-Operative Care Interventional sialendoscopic procedures are usually conducted under prophylactic antibiotic medication administered 48|hours or earlier prior to the procedure, depending on the individual case. Frequent self-massages of the gland are recommended. Clinical controls are performed directly after the intervention. Patients with ruptures of Wharton’s duct, or in cases of deliberately extended marsupialization of the latter, have to be subjected to careful clinical monitoring because of the risk of edema diffusion and/or infection of the floor of the mouth which poses the risk of developing into a life-threatening emergency.

Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 29 7.0 Training 7.1 Introduction Since the initial development stage of sialendoscopy we have been convinced that the best way to popularize the technique is teaching. Since 2002, more than 600 physicians from 65 countries have been trained in the European Sialendoscopy Training Center (ESTC) in Geneva, Switzerland. 7.2 The European Sialendoscopy Training Center (ESTC) 7.2.1 Aims of the ESTC The aims of the ESTC are: to train clinicians in the indications and procedures associated with diagnostic and therapeutic sialendoscopy, to organise and disseminate experi- ence gained by clinicians in this field, and to conduct international courses and conferences as appropriate, to facilitate exchange of knowledge, experiences and advances gained by leading clinical physicians who focus on diseases and conditions of the salivary glands. 7.2.2 Hands-on Training In Geneva, a specific training and demonstration model for sialendoscopy has been validated. The use of fresh pigs heads has proven to be ideal, after extensive trials conducted with other animal models and human cadaveric specimen. During each course, participants are paired and work on one fresh pig head. The lectures held during the hands-on course are divided into two sessions, one focusing on diagnostic and the other on interventional sialendoscopy. 32 Sialendoscopy in the operating theatre. 7.2.3 Conferences The international faculty reports on clinical, radiological, medical and surgical approaches to salivary gland pathologies. They explain and describe their techniques of sialendoscopy in a stepby-step fashion using a variety of videos and interactive presentations that allow for open discussion and comments. Recent developments in new materials and designs combined with advances in instrumentation technology are presented during such conferences. Abstract sessions are an outstanding way to disseminate the results of clinical research or to present and discuss case histories. Round table format and informal discussions facilitate reporting on advances and prospects of research that address the management of salivary gland duct pathologies. 33 Hands-on Training on an animal model. 30 Sialendoscopy – The Endoscopic Approach to Salivary Gland Ductal Pathologies 7.2.4 Live Surgery in 3D Owing to the availability of an excellent video-conference system linking the operating room to the conference room, live surgeries can be viewed on a large central video screen. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and discuss with the surgeon during the operation. Through this real-time approach, the steps of the procedure, but also the risks and advantages are made tangible to the course participants. At the subsequent hands-on sessions surgical tricks and tips are demonstrated, expanded upon and taught. For a few years now, the courses are recorded with a 3D camera and transmitted to the auditorium. 7.2.5 Courses for Beginners and Advanced Courses At the request of hundreds of participants, we started a few years ago to offer a beginners course and an advanced course in order to better address the individual needs at each level. 34 A video-conference system links the operating room to the conference room and allows live surgeries to be viewed on a large central video screen 7.3 Course Evaluation 8.0 Conclusion For retrospective evaluation of the courses held at the ESTC, questionnaires are distributed on a regular basis among the participants. As a result, 95% are satisfied with the theoretical part and 98% with the practical part of the course, underlining the importance of hands-on training with fresh pig heads. All participants agreed that the trickiest part of the procedure is the practical handling of the papilla in order to utilize the technique by ways of a truly minimally invasive approach. Based on the conclusions from this evaluation, we found out that the majority of participants (60%) requested an advanced course, so we decided to install both a beginners’ course and an advanced course, held annually in Geneva (www. sialendoscopy.com). Taking into consideration differences in instrumentation and video-endoscopic equipment, as well as complexity, duration, and potential complications of the procedures, a distinction has to be made between diagnostic and interventional sialendoscopy. Diagnostic sialendoscopy is a lowmorbidity minimally invasive technique, which may become the investigational procedure of choice for salivary duct pathologies. Interventional sialendoscopy allows for extraction and/or fragmentation in the majority of cases of sialolithiasis, and can therefore prevent salivary gland excisions.
