Abstract
Adult bronchoscopy, rigid oesophagoscopy and laryngoscopy for both diagnostic and therapeutic reasons are generally done under general anaesthesia. Panendoscopy (all 3 procedures) is commonly performed to rule out synchronous primaries with squamous cell cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract. This chapter covers the techniques, pitfalls and safety measures of these 3 procedures.
