The RoboticScope is a head movement controlled system which moves the Robotic arm loaded with 3D visualization technology, allowing surgeons complete freedom to use their hands for surgery.

The primary goal of congenital cleft earlobe repair extends beyond functional restoration of the earlobe to include esthetically pleasing outcomes.

Every patient with nonsyndromic single‑suture craniosynostosis should be offered endoscopic correction before the age of 6 months. The orthotist forms an important part of the Multi-disciplinary team, enabling successful outcomes.

EarWell infant ear molding device is a noninvasive, nonsurgical option to treat ear deformities in early infancy. There are no studies involving the parents' perspective to the use of the EarWell.

The benefits of the endoscopic technique include smaller incision, decreased blood loss and need for blood transfusion, and decreased stay in hospital.

Single stage first layer application of biosynthetic cellulose dressing is associated with reduced pain, parental anxiety, and improved scarring. The dressing is safe and can be applied to patients with superficial and mixed depth burns.

Current primary cleft nose correction techniques are associated with a significant rate of long term alar collapse. The nasal lining on the cleft side has been observed to be distorted and deficient. Nasal endoscopy was used to map the two dimensional topogra- phy of the anterior nasal airway lining in a normal and patient with unilateral cleft lip.

Sepsis results in intense disturbances in homoeostasis and is responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality in early infancy. Owing to insufficiency on part of infant to develop adequate inflammatory response to localize the infection, they usually progress to disseminated systemic infection, pneumonia and/or meningitis.

We wish to highlight our experience of the endoscopic assisted craniosynostosis technique in the context of a developing healthcare system. In developing countries, internet penetration is increasing and parents are using the internet to research latest technical advances to seek treatment early.
