Duct scar in the form of stenoses or stricture is the second leading cause of obstructive sialadenitis after stone. Over the past decade, there has been a growing experience demonstrating the effectiveness of endoscopic techniques in the minimally invasive management of salivary duct stenosis. Less information, however, is available with regard to open approaches for recurrent or complex ductal stenoses. This article reports on a case of gland preservation using an open ductal technique that originally was applied in cases of traumatic Stensen's duct injury.
