Fig. 5

Position of the trocars and oral endotracheal tube. The middle camera port stays at a higher position than that of the oral endotracheal tube (arrow). In addition, the camera port is lifted and tilted down during the surgery so that the endoscope can be used to look down from the chin to the neck. Therefore, the chance of collision between the endoscope and the oral endotracheal tube is minimal
