T式喉頭鏡ハンドル固定アタッチメントおよびMacintosh喉頭鏡ブレード，アームコントローラーを用いた経口的手術

抄録

Transoral surgery (TOS) is a less invasive surgery and is becoming the major approach for the treatment of laryngo-pharyngeal tumors. Although several types of laryngoscopes are available for TOS, the tongue base is still one of the most difficult parts in which to obtain appropriate surgical views. We developed an adapter to connect an Arm Controller to the Macintosh laryngoscope for resection of a tumor at the tongue base. The adapter allowed us to obtain appropriate surgical views and operate smoothly without the need to use other special instruments or causing stress to the surgeons.
