Purpose: To describe innovative use of instruments from other specialities in pediatric laparoscopy. The usage was intended in some cases, and it was need of the hour in few cases because of unavailability of an instrument in resource-limited condition or because of troubleshooting. Methods: We retrospectively collected data for all cases where we used instruments from other surgical specialties in pediatric surgical cases. These cases were operated at various centers from January 2016 to December 2018. Results: We found seven such scenarios where we used instruments routinely used by urologists, gynecologists, general surgeons and plastic surgeons. In all these cases, we found the use of these alternative instruments advantageous. Conclusion: A basic knowledge and working fundamentals of instruments of other speciality can be innovatively and fruitfully be utilized in making pediatric surgery easier and less invasive. This can avoid undue dissections, save few port placements and can avoid deferring of cases in situation of troubleshooting. |
