Abstract
Objective
The objectives of this systematic review are to assess the efficacy of sialendoscopy alone, without combined surgical approach, in treatment of obstructive salivary gland disease and overall gland preservation.
Methods
PubMed, Cochrane library and Google Scholar were searched up to 30th October 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the articles and included them if they met the inclusion criteria. Any uncertainty and discrepancy regarding any study was discussed among the two review authors and if no harmony was met, then it was resolved by the third author. Studies that used sialendoscopy alone for the management of salivary gland obstruction were selected. Outcome measures included rates of success and overall gland preservation.
Result
22 articles were included in the systematic review. From these 21 articles for success rate and 12 articles for gland preservation were included in meta-analysis. Pooled proportion for success rate and gland preservation was 0.75 (95% CI 68–82) and 0.98% (98% CI 97–99) respectively.
Conclusion
Sialendoscopy is a reliable therapeutic modality in management of non-neoplastic salivary gland diseases. It is effective, non-invasive, safe, and gland preserving.
