Overview

Surgery is recommended for parotitis caused by salivary duct stones, abscess from bacterial infection, parotid gland neoplasia, and recurrent parotitis of unknown etiology of which non-surgical therapies fail to resolve the disease. Sialendoscopy is preferred to relieve salivary duct stone-based parotitis due to the minimally-invasive nature of the procedure. Abscess drainage is performed by superficial incision. Partial or total parotidectomy is performed to remove neoplasia and when recurrent parotitis does not respond to non-surgical therapy. It is not recommended unless necessary due to the likelihood of complications.

Surgery

Sialendoscopy

  • Sialendoscopy is used to relieve parotitis caused by salivary duct stone obstruction.
  • It is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure to remove salivary gland stones using graspers, miniforceps, Dormia baskets and balloons.[1]
    • Stones with diameter <3mm: stone is removed directly.[2]
    • Stones with diameter >3mm: stone is fragmented beforehand using concentrated lasers.

Abscess drainage

  • Parotitis caused by an abscess from bacterial infection can be relieved by incision and drainage.

Parotidectomy

  • Partial or total surgical removal of the parotid gland is used for parotitis caused by a maligant or benign neoplasm, as well as recurrent parotitis of unknown etiology.[3]
