Abstract

The surgeon of today has at his disposal a large arsenal of technical aids. For the ear surgeon it is primarily the rotating drill which has helped him in the operating theatre. In spite of the fact that the drill is such an important tool in daily operative procedures, the problems concerning drills have been accorded surprisingly little attention in the medical press. It is also noticeable when visiting various clinics in different parts of the world that there appears to be little correlation between surgical standards obtained and the quality of the technical equipment used. The object of this article is to illustrate some of those problems which exist concerning the use of the drill in oto-surgery.
