Video telescopic sinus surgery technique for teaching

Trans Pa Acad Ophthalmol Otolaryngol. 1990:42:1037-9.

Abstract

Video-endoscopic sinus surgery is a team approach which has evolved from classic, endoscopic sinus surgery in treating over 500 patients. Unlike classic endoscopic sinus surgery which has the surgeon viewing and operating through the endoscope, this technique permits the surgeon to operate while viewing the T.V. monitor using two hands for instrumentation. This technique greatly facilitates hands-on teaching and learning, while simultaneously providing a reproducible method of documentation.
