Around 15,000 ENT cancers are diagnosed each year in France. The majority of these cancers will at one time or another require an Endoscopy of the Pharynx, Larynx and Esophagus (Endo-PLE or suspension laryngoscopy). Endoscopies of the Otorhinolaryngeal (ENT) sphere are common procedures. They consist of inserting a rigid laryngoscope through the mouth, allowing full exposure of the laryngeal sphere. For all patients, these endo-PLE are performed in the operating room and require general anesthesia. This surgical procedure is now performed by performing two laryngoscopies. The first is used to maintain good pulmonary oxygenation by introducing an oxygen cannula, the second constitutes the surgical procedure itself. The oxygen cannula is placed through the nasal cavity, directly up to the entrance of the vocal cords. This procedure is not without risk both for the patient (risk of dental b
