The operating microscope is now an essential tool for a large number of surgical procedures in a wide range of disciplines. At many medical centers, the optical equipment is often shared by surgeons from several disciplines. The expansion of microsurgical interest will continue to be interdisciplinary in the future, and this will call for microscope systems that are sufficiently versatile, both optically and mechanically, to meet the needs of surgery on a wide variety of anatomic structures. The development of the current range of microsurgical procedures in otolaryngology is presented to illustrate the concept of versatility by demonstrating the expansion of microsurgical technique to many regions of the head and neck. The key to this versatility has been the interchangeable objective lens system (200-400 mm), which allows a working distance appropriate to the depth of the various surgical approaches and which also allows the free transfer of microsurgical skills and instrumentation to new procedures.
手术显微镜现在是众多学科中大量外科手术的必备工具。在许多医疗中心，光学设备通常由多个学科的外科医生共享。未来，显微外科兴趣的扩展将继续跨学科发展，这将需要光学和机械方面都足够通用的显微镜系统，以满足对各种解剖结构进行手术的需求。本文介绍了耳鼻喉科当前一系列显微外科手术的发展情况，通过展示显微外科技术在头颈部多个区域的扩展来说明通用性的概念。这种通用性的关键在于可互换物镜系统（200 - 400毫米），它能提供适合各种手术入路深度的工作距离，还能使显微外科技术和器械自由应用于新手术。
