Abstract

We present a case series of four paediatric patients who successfully tolerated sialendoscopy of the submandibular duct under local anaesthesia in the Royal Gwent Hospital Maxillofacial Department, Newport. Both diagnostic and interventional sialendoscopy procedures are reported in the case series, including basket retrieval and lithotripsy. These cases demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of both diagnostic and interventional sialendoscopy under local anaesthesia in the paediatric patient and propose that this may be considered a primary treatment option in cases of paediatric obstructive sialadenitis of the submandibular duct.
