The authors present the analysis of 75 clinical observations in which minimally invasive endoscopic techniques was used to diagnose and treat sialolithiasis. The study showed that endo-scopic examination of salivary glands gives sufficient diagnostic information inaccessible for other methods and of crucial importance for sialolithiasis treatment. The possibility of endoscop-ic removal of sialolith is determined by its size, location and condition of the duct. Endoscopy can be used as a definitive method for removing sialoliths up to 5mm, or as a method of assis-tance for sialoliths from 3 to 7 mm removal. High informativeness and efficiency of the sialoen-doscopy may become a basis for its introduction into the sialolithiasis diagnostics and treatment standards.
Key words: sialolithiasis, salivary stone disease, endoscopy, endosialoscopy, duct obstruction, salivary stone removal.
