Book Description
Excerpt from Direct Laryngoscopy, Bronchoscopy, and sophagoscopy The present book is a revised and expanded form of my "Hand-buch fur die Technik und Methodik der direkten Okularen Methoden," which was published in 1910. The first section of this book, "Die Technik," has for the most part been omitted. It dealt with the theoretical considerations underlying the construction of my instruments, which up to that time had no chance of a widespread recognition. Since, however, by now more than 1,000 of these are in use, and are familiar to most endoscopists, the theoretical considerations would seem superfluous. The space that has been gained by omitting this part of the book has been utilized to expand that part dealing with the method itself in its clinical application. In this connection I may say that the section dealing with direct operations on the Larynx has been completely rewritten, and an entirely new chapter on Bronchoscopic Operations and methods of treatment has been added. In this an exhaustive and systematic account has been given of the diagnosis and treatment of bronchial foreign bodies, and the further question of endobronchial therapeutics has been discussed. It is hoped that these alterations and additions will add to the practical value of the book, and will enable the reader to obtain a methodical idea of the subject, so that he can approach even his first attempt at broncho- sophageal manipulation with the feeling of certain success.
