TO MY MOTHER TO WHOSE INTEREST IN MEDICAL SCIENCE
THE AUTHOR OWES HIS INCENTIVE, AND TO MY FATHER
WHOSE CONSTANT ADVICE TO "EDUCATE THE EYE AND
THE FINGERS" SPURRED THE AUTHOR TO CONTINUAL
EFFORT, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED.

PREFACE
This book is based on an abstract of the author's larger work, Peroral
Endoscopy and Laryngeal Surgery. The abstract was prepared under
the author's direction by a reader, in order to get a reader's point of
view on the presentation of the subject in the earlier book. With this
abstract as a starting point, the author has endeavored, so far as lay

within his limited abilities, to accomplish the difficult task of
presenting by written word the various purely manual endoscopic
procedures. The large number of corrections and revisions found
necessary has confirmed the wisdom of the plan of getting the reader's
point of view; and these revisions, together with numerous additions,
have brought the treatment of the subject up to date so far as is possible
within the limits of a working manual. Acknowledgment is due the
personnel of the W. B. Saunders Company for kindly help.

[17] CHAPTER I--INSTRUMENTARIUM
Direct laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, esophagoscopy and gastroscopy
are procedures in which the lower air and food passages are inspected
and treated by the aid of electrically lighted tubes which serve as
specula to manipulate obstructing tissues out of the way and to bring
others into the
