Abstract

This chapter will cover the fundamentals of endoscopy in otolaryngology, beginning with a history of the substantial progress that has been made since endoscopy was first developed in the 1800s, followed by a brief overview of the anatomy of the upper aerodigestive tract, and concluding with a discussion of contemporary office-based and surgical endoscopic practices. Knowledge of the fundamentals of endoscopy both in the office and the operating room is critical to understanding our current capabilities for visualizing and manipulating structures within the upper aerodigestive tract.
