Ultrasound‐guided piezoelectric extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of parotid gland calculi

The introduction of piezoelectric extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has changed therapy for salivary calculi. This method seems especially suitable for treating calculi in the parotid gland. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ESWL in patients with such calculi.
