FIG. 1.
Comparison of operating room setups for endoscopic versus microscopic ear surgery. Ninety-degree rotation of the table with a left patient ear is depicted. A, Endoscope in use. The video tower is positioned directly in front of the surgeon. The surgeon, assistant surgeon, and scrub technician are sitting next to each other and facing a single screen, allowing for heads-up surgery. B, Microscope in use. The video tower is moved slightly away to accommodate the swinging microscope arm. The video tower is connected to the microscope and allows the scrub technician to view the image on the screen. However, the surgeon and assistant surgeon are required to operate by looking through the microscope oculars.
