Description This “How I Do It” presentation demonstrates my approach to the intraductal treatment of salivary stones using pneumatic lithotripsy. The technique is presented step by step, including endoscopic identification of the stone, positioning and application of the pneumatic probe, fragmentation under direct vision, and removal of the resulting fragments. Procedural videos illustrate the technique and its practical application in routine sialendoscopic stone treatment.
Background Sialendoscopy has enabled the treatment of many salivary stones through a minimally invasive, gland-preserving approach. Stones that cannot be removed intact may require intraductal fragmentation. Pneumatic lithotripsy provides mechanical fragmentation under direct endoscopic control and has been my principal method of intraductal lithotripsy since 2007.
Outcome Objectives Participants will become familiar with the principles and practical steps of intraductal pneumatic lithotripsy, including probe positioning, controlled fragmentation, and endoscopic removal of stone fragments. They will also gain an understanding of how pneumatic lithotripsy can be integrated into routine sialendoscopic management of salivary stones.
The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate a practical and reproducible technique for intraductal treatment of salivary stones using pneumatic lithotripsy, based on nearly two decades of clinical experience with the method.
Dr. Atilla Şengör is an otolaryngologist with over 20 years of experience in sialendoscopy and salivary gland stone management. He has been performing interventional sialendoscopy for more than 18 years, with particular expertise in intracorporeal lithotripsy and gland-preserving techniques for large and complex salivary stones.
He has extensive experience in minimally invasive management of salivary gland disorders and has participated in numerous national and international congresses as an invited speaker and presenter. His clinical work focuses on advanced endoscopic approaches aimed at avoiding gland excision whenever possible.
