Induction of anesthesia and intubation by the anesthesia colleagues. Entry with the Kleinsasser tube and inspection of the hypopharynx and larynx. No abnormalities in the laryngeal region. Piriform sinus unremarkable on both sides. Posterior pharyngeal wall unremarkable. There is a distal hypopharyngeal diverticulum on the left side. Easy passage of the threshold with the flexible esophagogastroscope and projection to the stomach. There is only a residual stomach after partial gastric resection. As far as can be assessed, there are no abnormalities of the mucosa. Insertion of the tonsillectomy tube and inspection of the oropharynx. An exophytic mass approx. 1 cm in size is found on the uvula. Now remove the uvula including the carcinoma at the base. The specimen is thread-marked for final histology.
