title: Microlaryngoscopy in local anesthesia using Brünings' counterpressor.
abstract: Disadvantages of instruments and methods of the usual microlaryngoscopic examination procedure carried out under general anesthesia are offset in an almost optimal way when Brünings' counterpressure device is employed and the operation is carried out under local anesthesia. Some notes concerning the method, which are based on 10 years' experience, are given.
