[The treatment of patients with chronic sialadenitis resulting from salivary outflow disorder].

The author analyzes the results of treatment of 128 patients with chronic sialadenitis by original surgical and conservative organ-preserving methods. Narrowed orifice of the submandibular duct and excessive curves of the parotid duct in the buccinator were surgically corrected. Conservative therapy included electrophoresis of residues of the Saki Lake therapeutic mud, followed by ultrasonic therapy. These pathogenetically based methods proved to be fairly effective. Removal of stenosed sites of the ducts resulted in alleviation of inflammation symptoms in 103 (80.47%) patients and in clinical remission of the condition.
