CHAPTER 108 Pediatric Neonatal/Infant Laryngoscope and Bronchoscopy Set Additional images are available at: evolve.elsevier.com/Tighe/instrumentation/ Pediatric surgery is surgery that is performed on infants and children up to the age of 20. Pediatric instruments are smaller and shorter but otherwise exactly the same as those used for surgery in adults. Esophageal atresia and pyloric stenosis are two congenital anomalies that require surgery in an infant. In esophageal atresia, the esophagus ends in a blind pouch or is severely stenosed. The chest wall is entered to correct the anomaly. Pyloric stenosis is the narrowing of the pyloric sphincter of the stomach. A pyloromyotomy is performed to incise the sphincter muscle. Bowel conditions that require surgery in an infant or child include intestinal obstruction, which may be atresia (partial lacking of the bowel) or stenosis (narrowing of the lumen of the bowel); intussusception (the telescoping of one section of the bowel into another); or Hirschsprung’s disease (a congenital anomaly in which the colon lacks the innervation that stimulates peristalsis). A Wilms’ tumor (a tumor of the kidney) and a cleft lip or palate (a congenital anomaly in which the lip and/or the palate are separated) are also problems that require surgery in infants and children. Possible instruments and equipment needed for the procedure include a pediatric laparoscope and an operating microscope. 108-1 Pediatric laryngoscope. Top, left to right: 1 suction tubing connection; 3 assorted sizes of laryngoscopes; 1 specimen container; 1 saline container. Bottom, top to bottom: 3 bronchoscopy forceps (peanut forceps, alligator forceps, and grasping forceps); 3 assorted suctions. Only gold members can continue reading.
