Abstract
The combined operation offers a further option for gland-conserving treatment in cases with obstructive salivary gland disease, especially sialolithiasis. At present, it is indicated for cases that are resistant to treatment after sialendoscopy or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The gland resection rate can thus be further reduced.
