A Cost-Effective Solution to Limit Aerosol Transmission of Infectious Agents During Mastoid Drilling —Reply

In Reply We thank Thong et al for their letter. We chose our method because it allows easy setup and takedown for continued microscope use after drilling is complete. We have taken to using the Sterile-Z Back Table Drape because it has a perforation down the middle to allow for easy break-away when it is no longer needed. As stated in our original Research Letter, we expect better modifications to come about, and otolaryngologists will always be a creative group.
