The endoscopic diving technique (EDT) is a procedure utilized in endonasal endoscopy, which consists of irrigating the surgical cavity during tumor removal, with a continuous flow of pressurized saline solution.
The authors provide a detailed step-by-step description of the technique, shedding light on surgical tips and pitfalls. Advantages, disadvantages, and the most useful application of the technique are clarified and showed with a high-quality endoscopic video.
EDT represents an effective and safe procedure. It allows a wide exploration of the surgical cavity, providing tumor hydro-dissection, assisting in bleeding control, and optimizing the efficacy of endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery.
内镜潜水技术（EDT）是一种在内鼻腔内窥镜检查中使用的程序，它包括在肿瘤切除过程中用加压生理盐水持续冲洗手术腔。
作者详细描述了该技术的每一个步骤，揭示了手术技巧和陷阱。阐明并展示了该技术的优点、缺点和最有用的应用，视频质量高。
EDT 是一种有效且安全的程序。它可以广泛探查手术腔，提供肿瘤水力解剖，帮助控制出血，并优化经蝶窦内窥镜手术的效果。
