Summary
This study introduces angled Hopkins telescopes for hypopharynx and larynx surgery, enhancing visualization of difficult-to-reach areas. The telescopic system offers significant advantages over traditional methods for complex laryngeal and hypopharyngeal interventions.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Surgical Technology
- Endoscopic Surgery
Background:
- Traditional hypopharyngeal and laryngeal surgeries rely on direct vision or operating microscopes.
- Limitations exist in visualizing complex anatomical surfaces with conventional methods.
