| description | Background: We describe a modified suction tip for a suction device that used in rigid bronchoscope biopsy procedures. This redesign of the tip makes it suitable for work in endoscopic skull base surgery for taking specimens because it originally designed for use with minimal surgical trauma for suction and dissection simultaneously. Presentation: Since 2015, we have used the device on 37 patients with skull base tumors (25 pituitary adenomas, seven craniopharyngiomas, five meningiomas). The longitudinal sliced blunt margin suction tip facilitated the removal of masses of proper amounts of specimens and was less traumatic to nearby tissues.The suction tip did not adhere to structures. It used as a dissector with low-pressure suction. In comparison with conventional suction; it caused less bleeding because of its blunt margins and the right amount of biopsy collected in its attached container. It has less affinity to suck the surgicel or gelfoam. Conclusion: This modification of a rigid bronchoscope biopsy device was beneficial in addressing skull base lesions for dissection, aspiration and biopsy taking. |
