title: Novel use of a Leyla-Yasargil retractor as an endoscope holder during endoscopic sinus surgery.
abstract: The authors describe a novel way of fashioning an endoscope holder from a common retractor and an ear speculum. Using such a device during endoscopic sinus surgery leaves both of the surgeon's hands free to manipulate the instruments.
