Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Pediatric laparoscopic surgery requires secure fixation of trocars to prevent complications.
  • Existing methods for trocar fixation may be cumbersome or less secure in pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a simple, fast, and secure method for fixing trocars to the abdominal wall in pediatric patients.
  • To describe a technique that effectively restrains both inward and outward trocar movement.

Main Methods:

  • A piece of Tegaderm polyurethane adhesive is applied to the trocar before insertion.
  • A silk stitch is anchored to the skin and then passed through the adhesive over the trocar shaft.
  • This secures the trocar, preventing unwanted displacement.

Main Results:

  • The described method provides secure fixation for pediatric trocars.
  • The technique is applicable to trocars of all sizes.
  • It effectively restrains both inward and outward movement of the trocar.

Conclusions:

  • This novel method offers a simple, fast, and secure approach to pediatric trocar fixation.
  • The technique enhances surgical safety and efficiency in pediatric laparoscopy.
  • It is a versatile solution applicable across various trocar sizes.
