Evaluation of a preclinical surgical model for endolaryngeal interventions with a novel hyperangulated 3D printed Laryngoscope

Introduction This study presents a hybrid model for preclinical testing and surgical training of the novel hyperangulated laryngoscope for surgery (sMAC). In cases where transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) using the conventional Kleinsasser operating laryngoscope faces challenges, such as limited cervical spine mobility or post-radiation changes, the sMAC offers a potential solution. This study aims to create a suitable preclinical model for testing the sMAC instrument, focusing on surgical training.
