ObjectivesChronic obstructive parotitis related to Sjogren’s syndrome is not uncommon,but it is rarely reported in the literature.The aim of this study was to describe our experience of treating chronic obstructive parotitis related to Sjogren’s syndrome.Materials and MethodsSeventeen patients with chronic obstructive parotitis related to Sjogren’s syndrome who were treated with sialendoscopy from June 2014 to June 2015 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery,School of Stomatology,China Medical University were retrospectively reviewed.The cohort underwent ultrasonography,salivary gland scintigraphy (SGS) examinations and sialography before sialendoscopy.All patients were asked to undergo a visual analog scale (VAS) evaluation before and six months after surgery. A paired t-test was conducted,and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsThe 17 patients (27 parotid glands) successfully underwent interventional sialendoscopy under local anesthesia.Compared with the mean preoperative VAS score of 6,the mean VAS score six months after sialendoscopy was 4.5,which is significantly lower than the preoperative VAS score (P<0.05).ConclusionsInterventional sialendoscopy plays a significant role in the treatment of chronic obstructive parotitis related to Sjogren’s syndrome.
