Guidewire-Assisted dilation in sialendoscopy: How I use the modified Marchal's dilator

The guidewire-assisted modification of the Marchal's dilator offers a safe, reproducible, and user-friendly enhancement to standard sialendoscopy techniques. By simplifying access and minimizing tissue trauma, this method may reduce operative times and improve patient outcomes. Its ease of use and compatibility with existing sialendoscopic systems make it particularly advantageous in training settings and low-resource environments.
