For free floating submandibular calculi, endoscopic removal is most commonly performed with the use of a basket. Balloons also are suitable tools for the removal of small mobile calculi. In general, smaller stones (< 4 mm in the submandibular gland, < 3 mm in the parotid gland) are amenable to endoscopic removal. Intermediate-size stones (5-7 mm) may have to be fragmented further with either a holmium laser or lithotripsy before endoscopic extraction.
