Abstract
After introduction of operating microscopes and laser devices in the 1960's, monumental innovation for had been achieved in laryngeal microscopic surgery. The development of high-tech operating devices made the laryngeal surgery less invasive and more precise. There were long histories until developing of the modem instruments and surgical techniques. The simple oral mirror introduced by Bozzoni in 1807 is the beginning of laryngoscope. In 1859 Green carried out the laryngeal operation under direct view of larynx. The appearance of local topical anesthesia on throat had contributed to laryngeal surgery coming into wide use. Killian and Jackson made much contribution to developing the design of laryngoscope. After that, modem laryngeal surgery have been developed with development of the stabilizing holder of laryngoscope and optical devices. We propose carefully the direction of the development of the laryngeal surgery by historical consideration of laryngeal surgery and instrumental development.
