中文摘要
目的： 追溯纤维鼻咽喉镜（喉镜）的历史起源，并揭示开发这项技术的创新科学家。
数据来源： 主要来源包括报道纤维喉镜及类似技术最初开发的原始研究文章和摘要、东京大学言语病理学与语音学研究所（RILP）年度公报的原始文件，以及对主要发明人的访谈。
综述方法： 对现有信息进行了综述，涉及：纤维喉镜是如何以及为何被开发的，在此开发之前有哪些技术，发明人是谁，这项技术是在怎样的历史背景下形成的，以及它的长期影响。
结果： 纤维喉镜由东京大学RILP的Masayuki Sawashima博士、Hajime Hirose博士和Osamu Fujimura博士于1967年发明。这项突破性创新诞生于二战后日本技术快速进步浪潮之中。Sawashima博士强调，纤维喉镜的一个关键灵感来自日本医师科学家Shigeto Ikeda博士于1962年开发的纤维支气管镜的成功。纤维喉镜的发明人报告了在未受干扰的言语和呼吸过程中声门的第一批实时图像和视频，彻底改变了对喉功能的理解，并为现代喉科学和言语语言病理学奠定了基础。据Sawashima博士称，该团队从未为他们的技术申请专利。
结论： 柔性喉镜由东京大学RILP的Sawashima、Hirose和Fujimura于1967年发明，这是对现代喉科学的一项基础性贡献，但在英语文献中基本上未得到承认。
证据等级： 不适用。
英文摘要
OBJECTIVES: To trace the historical origins of the fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscope (laryngoscope) and to shed light on the innovative scientists who developed this technology.
DATA SOURCES: Primary sources included original research articles and abstracts reporting the initial development of the fiberoptic laryngoscope and similar technologies, original documents from the University of Tokyo's Research Institute of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (RILP) Annual Bulletin, and an interview with the lead inventor.
REVIEW METHODS: Available information was reviewed regarding: how and why the fiberoptic laryngoscope was developed, what technologies preceded this development, who the inventors were, what historical context this technology was shaped in, and its long-term impact.
RESULTS: The fiberoptic laryngoscope was invented in 1967 by Drs. Masayuki Sawashima, Hajime Hirose, and Osamu Fujimura at the University of Tokyo's RILP. This groundbreaking innovation arose during a wave of rapid technological advancement in Japan following World War II. Dr. Sawashima highlights that a key inspiration for the fiberoptic laryngoscope was the success of the fiberoptic bronchoscope, developed by Japanese physician-scientist Dr. Shigeto Ikeda in 1962. The inventors of the fiberoptic laryngoscope reported the first real-time images and videos of the glottis during unperturbed speech and breathing, revolutionizing understanding of laryngeal function and setting the stage for modern laryngology and speech language pathology. According to Dr. Sawashima, the team never patented their technology.
CONCLUSION: The flexible laryngoscope was invented in 1967 by Sawashima, Hirose, and Fujimura at the University of Tokyo RILP, a foundational contribution to modern laryngology that has gone largely unrecognized in English-language literature.
