The larynx is an important organ of the human body and has a great influence on food swallowing, breathing and vocalization. Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly becoming the mainstay of laryngeal surgery in order to minimize damage to laryngeal tissues and function. The traditional minimally invasive laryngeal procedure is now a laryngoscope procedure. The operation is carried out by establishing an operation channel through a support laryngoscope and carrying out operation treatment through a narrow operation channel by a doctor holding an operation instrument.
However, this surgical method has several problems as follows. First, there is a blind zone of vision, poor exposure of the focal zone. The space of throat portion is narrow and small and the shape is irregular, and the rigid direct laryngoscope that uses in traditional operation and the field of vision of supporting laryngoscope have certain restriction, can't carry out good exposure to the tissue all around of supporting laryngoscope tip. Second, there is an operational blind zone. The narrow and irregular operation area limits the operation range of the traditional rigid surgical instrument, and the operation has an operation blind area, so that the focus cannot be completely removed. Thirdly, precise operation is difficult. The surgical operation area is adjacent to a plurality of important anatomical tissues, and the requirement on the surgical precision is high. The narrow surgical passage and the trembling fatigue of the hands of the doctor pose great challenges to the precise operation of the surgery.
