Nathan Lenehan, Aki Flame, Megan Hobson

Abstract

Sialadenitis is a relatively common condition in the paediatric setting, with recurrent episodes associated with possible duct obstruction, juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP), or paediatric-onset Sjögren’s syndrome. Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that allows for the evaluation and treatment of salivary duct pathology. This study evaluates the patient-reported efficacy of sialendoscopy in treating recurrent sialadenitis in the paediatric setting.
