Abstract

Indirect mirror laryngoscopy is difficult to learn. An anatomic model of the oropharynx and larynx is described here. This model is used to familiarize medical students with the component skills of mirror laryngoscopy. The students progress to competency at mirror laryngoscopy on patients more quickly after initial use of this model.

Laryngeal photography.

Laryngeal photography -- still, motion, and television -- is of great value in teaching students and residents, in communicating findings to colleagues, and in demonstrating surgical technique in microsurgery of the larynx. Acceptable photographs can be achieved at moderate cost using the optical system of the Zeiss microscope, photo-adapters and an appropriate 35 mm camera body, 16 mm movie camera, and/or lightweight TV color camera. Large bore fiberoptic light carriers are used in the laryngoscope to carry maximum amount of light from the quartz iodide light source or indium-iodide lamp. These techniques interfere minimally with the operation.

Open tube, proximal illumination mirror and direct laryngeal photography.

Equipment is described for mirror and open tube direct laryngoscopic photography. It consists of specially constructed reflex camera systems that provide adequate exposure and depth of the desired field, sharpness of focus, correct color, and effective composition for meaningful illustrations. The separate cameras for still and motion pictures consist of units that contain the light source, lenses, optic reflex systems, and film chambers. The mirrors for indirect laryngoscopy and the open tube direct laryngoscopes are attached by rigid, easily released clamps for quick interchange. It is stressed that the laryngologist himself must be the photographer. The pictures are adjuncts to case recording, are supportive evidence of investigative work, and may be used as chronologic sequences in study of physiology and in pre- and postoperative evaluation.
