Indirect laryngoscopy traditionally entails the use of both a head mirror and laryngeal mirror. It is the first and most basic successful technique for viewing the larynx, and arguably remains the most commonly used diagnostic method for laryngoscopy today. This article reviews its evolution, from Albucasis' early applications of reflection and succeeding experiments with refraction, to Hoffman's design of the head mirror and subsequent modifications with illumination, culminating in Manuel Garcia's description of mirror laryngoscopy in 1854 and its refinement by Türck and Czermak.
传统上,间接喉镜检查需要同时使用头镜和喉镜。它是观察喉部的首个也是最基本的成功技术,可以说至今仍是最常用的喉镜诊断方法。本文回顾了其发展历程,从阿尔布卡西斯对反射的早期应用以及随后的折射实验,到霍夫曼对头镜的设计以及后来对照明的改进,最终在1854年曼努埃尔·加西亚对喉镜检查的描述以及图尔克和策尔马克对其的完善。
