Treatment of Sialolithiasis of Sublingual Gland in Sialolithiasis of the Parotid Gland with Stone in the Middle or Proximal Duct or Hilar Region

This protocol covers the management of sialolithiasis of the sublingual gland in the specific clinical context of concurrent sialolithiasis of the parotid gland where the calculus is located in the middle or proximal duct or hilar region.

Clinical Scenario

The defining condition is sialolithiasis of the parotid gland with the stone positioned in the middle or proximal duct or in the hilar region — a stone location that directly shapes the selection of intervention.

Treatment Approach

For stones meeting certain size and mobility criteria in this setting, minimally invasive endoscopic and intraluminal interventional approaches are among the options considered.

The complete protocol — including full selection criteria, modality choice, and approach sequencing — is available via the link below.

Stones in the Middle or Proximal Duct and Hilar Region

Small, mobile stones (≤3–5 mm) are primarily an indication for intSE or ISWL, independently of their size or impaction.
