Sialendoscopy and Salivary Duct Surgery Course 2017

Sialendoscopy and Salivary Duct Surgery Course is organized by University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine (UCSF) Continuing Medical Education and would be held Nov 17, 2016 at JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square, San Francisco, California, United States of America. This CME conference has been approved with 8.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Objectives:

We specifically anticipate improvements in skills and strategies to:
• Implement sialendoscopy and minimally invasive approaches to the salivary duct into clinical practice.
• Determine the indications for gland preservation with sialendoscopy and salivary duct surgery versus submandibular or parotid gland resection;
• Establish clinical outcome expectations and discuss advantages and drawbacks of sialendoscopy and minimally-invasive salivary duct procedures;
• Perform salivary duct procedures including punctal dilation, duct dilation, diagnostic sialendoscopy, sialendoscopic-guided surgery (use of endoscopic forceps, baskets, lasers, and dilators), sialolithotomy, sialodochotomy, sialodochoplasty with transoral and transfacial approaches to the salivary ducts.
• Introduce surgeon-performed ultrasound and its application for salivary duct disease diagnosis and intraoperative ultrasound-guided salivary duct procedures.
