Abstract:
We have developed a novel instrument which is a drill burr protection sheath with an inbuilt suction-irrigation system for endoscopic ear surgery. It allows simultaneous suction and irrigation. It is a metallic attachment onto the mastoid drill handpiece. It provides protection for the endoscope as well as the external auditory skin during transcanal drilling procedures. It is cost effective.
