Abstract

We present a surgical attachment that we call RIVEFLEXI3D for its acronym in English Rigid Vest for Flexible Nasolaryngoscope; no one similar or another that fulfills similar functions is registered. It has the objective of facilitating the reuse for therapeutic surgical purposes of the flexible endoscopy used in outpatient consultation. The instrument can be useful to optimize resources in hospitals with few material goods. It has been used in 4 patients operated on subglottic pathology, facilitating and optimizing the surgical treatment in these cases, without increasing costs or exposing patients to risks. We consider that its use should be extended to other hospital units that need to optimize material resources.
