A modified ear speculum holder now functions as an endoscope holder, improving endoscopic surgery for nasal and ear conditions. This innovation enhances visualization and instrument manipulation during minimally invasive procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Traditional endoscopic surgery requires specialized, often cumbersome, instrument holders.
  • Existing holders may limit maneuverability or visualization in nasal and ear procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt a readily available instrument, Mitchellson's ear speculum holder, into a functional endoscope holder.
  • To evaluate its utility in endoscopic nasal and ear surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of Mitchellson's ear speculum holder to securely grip an endoscope.
  • Inclusion of the modified holder in simulated and/or actual endoscopic nasal and ear surgical procedures.

Main Results:

  • The modified holder effectively secured the endoscope, providing stable visualization.
