Laparoscope surgical Instrument usage to manage an extremely difficult airway
Airway management is an integral part of anaesthesia practice. Technical difficulty to intubate the patient may pose some critical challenges. We encountered one such case, a smiling girl of 6years posted for 2nd stage palatal fistula repair. Her tongue was attached to the palate (Fig. 1) four weeks back. After explaining the procedure, informed consent and permission to publication was obtained from the parent (mother), patient was prepared for anaesthesia. Surgeon requested for nasal intubation in view of better exposure.
