- Abstract
Microlaryngeal surgery involves a delicate balance between airway control and appropriate visualization of laryngeal anatomy. When the self-centering, laser-safe Hunsaker Mon-Jet tube (Xomed, Jacksonville, FL) was introduced in 1994, to provide subglottic ventilation, the needs of both anesthesiologist and surgeon appeared to have been adequately met. However, limited data exists regarding the efficacy of this device in a large patient series. The aim of this cohort study was to explore the spectrum of patients and procedures for which this technique could be used.
