    This is our first experience in providing general anaesthesia for robotic-assisted thyroidectomy (RAT). It is rather a
    new experience for our anaesthetic team and few issues should be addressed. The conduct of RAT must be fully
    understood and familiarized as it may present with few challenges for the anaesthesiologists. The key point of
    success during this learning curve period is the importance of teamwork between the anaesthesiologists and the
    operating surgeons. The specific anaesthetic challenges include limited access to the patient post-docking of the
    robot, the need of extra precautions of the anaesthetic circuit and IV line connections, a vigilant anaesthesiologists
    and options for postoperative pain relief.

    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.
