RESUMEN
When we are practicing, especially in rural India, we often face problems of instrument failure or lost instrument, etc... which may sometimes necessitate abandoning the procedure just because of the lack of a single instrument. We do mobile laparoscopic surgery, carrying all the laparoscopic instruments to far-off places, as far as 60-80 km. On one such occasion, my staff had lost a 5-mm trocar, which had gone unnoticed until I posted a case for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There was not much time to buy a new one and also it was difficult to procure from the dealer because of the COVID-19 situation. Just because of the lack of one instrument we were facing a situation of postponing laparoscopy!
