Cysts, tumors & salivary glands

Salivary stones: laser and endoscopy instead of removing the gland

An elderly diabetic patient with long-standing swelling and pus. Instead of neck surgery and gland removal, the stones were broken with laser and removed endoscopically through the mouth: the gland was saved and no incision was left. A first in the Southern Region.

The goal is not only to remove the problem, but to preserve what we were created with.
