Van Zele T, et al. - In this prospective, multi-center, feasibility study, researchers assessed the effectiveness of a novel, drivable endoscope (the Peregrine™ Drivable ENT Scope), compared to standard rigid endoscopes in the access, visualization, and irrigation of the paranasal sinus anatomy. The study sample consisted of 17 subjects who had primary functional endoscopic sinus surgery and were assessed with the drivable endoscope and standard, rigid endoscopes (0°, 30° and 70°, as applicable). In visualizing all paranasal sinus anatomic landmarks, the drivable endoscope success rate was 55.6% better than the standard rigid endoscopes: 98.3% (178/181) vs 42.7% (76/178). Surgeons rated scores of more than 4 (on a scale of 1–5) for drivable endoscope usability to enter the maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses. A mean score of 4.3 was given to the ability to irrigate the sinuses using the drivable endoscope, and a mean score of 3.4 was given to image quality. With the drivable endoscope, the three patients assessed postoperatively reported low pain and high tolerability scores. Overall, the authors concluded that the drivable endoscope in sinonasal endoscopy is effective, easy to use and highly tolerable.
