Abstract:
The micro-ear instruments are designed to work with the operating oto-microscope where the principle of working depends on the magnification and the focal length of the objective lens. During the endoscopic ear surgery, the length of instrument interferes with the length of the endoscope making the working under the lens difficult. Hence certain modifications are required in the existing micro ear instruments so as to be used in endoscopic ear surgery to reach the nooks and corners of the middle ear. In this manuscript, we describe the angle rendered to the flag knife.
