Stage I Entering The Right Pyriform SinusCategory: INTRODUCTION OF THE ESOPHAGOSCOPE Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery The operator standing (as in Fig. 66), inserts the esophagoscope along the right side of the tongue as far as and down the posterior pharyngeal wall. A lifting motion imparted to the tip of the esophagoscope by the left thumb will bring the rounded right arytenoid eminence into view (A, Fig. 69). This is the landmark of the pyriform sinus, and care must be taken to avoid injury by hooking the tube mouth over it or its fellow. The tip of the tube should now be directed somewhat toward the midline, remembering the funnel shape of the hypopharynx. It will then be found to glide readily through the right pyriform sinus for 2 or 3 cm., when it comes to a full stop, and the lumen disappears. This is the spasmodically closed cricopharyngeal constriction. [FIG. 66.--Esophagoscopy by the author's high-low method. First stage. High position. Finding the right pyriform sinus. In this and the second stage the patient's vertex is about 15 cm. above the level of the table.] Next: Stage 2 Previous: Introduction Of The Esophagoscope
