RESUMO
Background: Endoscopic nasal surgery is often a tedious process due to repeated removal of the Hopkins rod telescope from the nasal cavity for manual defogging of the tip due to the presence of blood, smoke, and secretions. Objective: To design and print a 3-dimensional (3D) low-cost telescopic sleeve to allow the defogging solution to clean the rigid telescope tip without removing it from the nasal cavity. In addition, the sleeve must also act as a conduit for suction and irrigation to provide a clear surgical field view intraoperatively. Results and conclusion: A 3D printed low-cost telescopic sleeve, when used in conjunction with other add-ons, can be a helpful and cost-effective adjunct during endoscopic nasal surgery.
