Abstract
Endoscopic surgeries have gained popularity not only in ENT but also in other surgical faculties. Endoscopic approach for sinus surgeries and otologic surgeries is well known. However, the major disadvantage of endoscopic aided surgeries as against microscope aided surgeries is thought to be the effective reduction in the working hands as the non-dominant hand of the surgeon is utilized for holding the endoscope. This urged the need for development of the endoscopic holder so as to allow both the hands of the surgeon for surgical manipulation.
