This is a report of our experience with a new flexible fibroscope, the CHF P 10. We performed more than 50 diagnostic endoscopies and 28 operative procedures. It is extremely practical to perform diagnostic and operative procedures at the same time if necessary. The major advantages of the new fibroscope are its diameter (4.9 mm), flexibility and bendable tip (260° range). This permits a substantial decrease in cervical dilatation and use of anesthesia. Because of this, hospitalization costs decrease and the safety of surgical procedures is increased.
