Use of a Specially Designed Holder and “Bender” for Needles in Microlaryngosurgery

Abstract

In order to facilitate the suturing procedure during microlaryngosurgery under direct laryngoscopy, we recently devised a specially designed holder and a “bender” for the needles used in this type of surgery. The use of these instruments was tested on both the right and left vocal cords, and the results were technically compared and discussed.
