Popis: Anesthesia is required in ear surgery e.g., to remove polyps and cholesteatomas, insert ventilation tubes or conduct myringoplasty. With surface anesthesia often unsatisfactory and penetrative anesthesia, e.g., with an iontophoresers not usable in tympanic membrane perforation, local anesthetic injection may also cause fear and anxiety about pain in subjects or limit the operative field due to external auditory canal swelling. To overcome these shortcomings, we found it helpful to use an electric dental injector in otologic practice.
