Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional methods for endolaryngeal procedures often require specialized equipment like operating microscopes.
  • Achieving adequate magnification and visualization during laryngeal interventions can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel combined telescope and forceps instrument for endolaryngeal procedures.
  • To assess the efficacy of this new instrument in visualization, biopsy, and removal of benign and malignant laryngeal lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A telescope inserted into stripping-type forceps allows for magnified endolaryngeal visualization.
  • The combined instrument is designed to pass through standard laryngoscopes.
  • Optics are available in 0, 30, and 70-degree configurations.

Main Results:

  • The instrument provides excellent visualization for endolaryngeal procedures.
  • It facilitates biopsy and removal of benign lesions and carcinoma in situ.
  • These instruments offer a simpler and equally exact alternative to the operating microscope in many cases.
  • The combined instruments are also suitable for cervical tracheoscopy and mediastinoscopy.

Conclusions:

  • The combined telescope and forceps represent a valuable advancement for endolaryngeal surgery.
  • This instrument simplifies procedures and offers comparable precision to operating microscopes for specific indications.
  • Its utility extends to other endoscopic procedures like tracheoscopy and mediastinoscopy.
