| Research Abstract |
To familiarize endoscopically-assisted oral and maxillofacial surgery, we developed the prototype of portable endoscopic system connected to laptop computer byuniversal serial bus(USB) cable. As an endoscope for oral and maxillofacial surgery, we developed 0.9 mm diameter, 0°endoscope. More improvement of this endoscopic system enables clinical application. The images are as same as commercial sialendoscope(0.9 mm diameter, 0°endoscope ; Karl Storz, Germany). Further study is necessary to develop endoscopes for several oral surgeries.
