The problems of anaesthesia for microsurgery of the larynx are reviewed and the disadvantages of some current techniques are discussed. A modified headrest, laryngoscope, dental protector, laryngostat, and a technique of ventilation based on insufflation, which prevents tracheal soiling and allows visibility and room for instrumentation, are described.
