    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Laser Surgery
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Operating microscopes are essential for visualizing surgical fields.
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers offer precise tissue ablation in various medical procedures.
    • Accessing upper tracheal lesions can be challenging due to limited visualization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel adapter designed to enhance the functionality of operating microscopes with CO2 laser systems.
    • To facilitate monocular visualization and precise aiming for laser surgery in the upper trachea.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and integration of a specialized adapter for operating microscopes.
    • The adapter allows axial viewing down the CO2 laser beam.
    • Integration of joystick control for precise aiming light manipulation.
