Sialendoscopy Services at Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre
At Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre, we are committed to providing cutting-edge solutions for salivary gland disorders through our advanced Sialendoscopy service. Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the salivary glands, such as blockages, stones, and infections, with precision and care.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
At Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre, Advanced diagnostic capabilities for sialendoscopy, a procedure used to diagnose and treat salivary gland disorders, involve various techniques and tools designed to provide detailed visualization and assessment of the salivary ducts and glands. Here are some advanced diagnostic capabilities used in sialendoscopy:Advanced diagnostic capabilities for sialendoscopy, a procedure used to diagnose and treat salivary gland disorders, involve various techniques and tools designed to provide detailed visualization and assessment of the salivary ducts and glands. Here are some advanced diagnostic capabilities used in sialendoscopy:
- High-Resolution Imaging: Utilization of high-definition endoscopes and advanced imaging modalities such as narrow-band imaging (NBI), confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows for detailed visualization of the salivary ductal system. This enables precise identification of lesions, strictures, and anatomical variations.
- Fluorescence Techniques: Fluorescence imaging techniques, including autofluorescence and fluorescent dyes, help differentiate normal from abnormal tissue, aiding in the detection of early neoplastic changes and guiding targeted biopsies.
- Real-Time Navigation Systems: Integration of navigation systems with sialendoscopy facilitates accurate localization and navigation within the intricate ductal networks of the salivary glands. This technology enables precise targeting of lesions and minimizes the risk of damage to surrounding structures.
- Miniaturized Tools and Instrumentation: Development of miniaturized tools, such as microforceps, microdrills, and laser probes, allows for precise tissue sampling, dissection, and intervention within the narrow confines of the salivary ducts. These instruments enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of sialendoscopy while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
Precision Treatment Options
Precision treatment options in sialendoscopy have evolved to provide targeted and minimally invasive interventions for various salivary gland disorders. Here are some advanced techniques:
- Laser Lithotripsy: Laser lithotripsy utilizes laser energy to fragment salivary gland stones into smaller pieces, allowing for their extraction through the natural ductal openings. This precise technique minimizes tissue trauma and preserves glandular function while effectively managing calculi within the ductal system.
- Balloon Dilation: Balloon dilation is employed to treat ductal strictures and stenoses by gently dilating the narrowed segment using an inflatable balloon catheter. This technique restores ductal patency and promotes salivary flow without the need for surgical incisions, preserving glandular tissue and function.
- Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy (EHL): EHL utilizes high-energy shock waves generated by an electrode to fragment salivary gland stones. This technique is particularly effective for large or impacted calculi and can be performed in conjunction with sialendoscopy to facilitate stone removal while minimizing tissue trauma.
- Injection Therapy: Injection therapy involves the targeted delivery of sclerosing agents, such as ethanol or steroids, into the salivary gland ducts to treat conditions such as sialadenitis or ductal strictures. This minimally invasive approach promotes glandular healing and reduces inflammation, restoring normal salivary gland function.
