Olivecrona Tonsil — Stockholm Neurosurgery Cross

Herbert Olivecrona (1891-1980), Stockholm neurosurgery pioneer and founder of the Karolinska neurosurgical school, gave his name to the long-reach scissor that adapts to deep oropharyngeal-and-skull-base work where the tonsillar plane meets the cranial base. Reference Olivecrona handles deep para-pharyngeal-space tonsillar-extension dissection, retro-pharyngeal abscess drainage approach, and naso-pharyngeal-mass biopsy access via trans-oral approach.
