Abstract
A retrospective study conducted
at tertiary center. Study Design: The use of powered instruments in ENT surgery
is a definite trend, and a way forward. Procedures in the naso-orbit area are
likely to increase the domain of the ENT surgeon towards procedures that were
so far purely in the ophthalmology domain. Application of powered surgery in ear
and larynx though not prevalent yet, shows promise of growth in near future.
Cost of instruments is high but not prohibitive. Hopefully, this factor will
ease out with wider usage. Additional caution, hands-on training and choice of
instruments with correct parameters are very essential. Shorter operative time
and reduced complications are likely to make powered instruments more popular
with surgeons.
