摘要

在资源有限的农村地区，外科护理往往面临基础设施薄弱和电力不稳定等挑战。在尼泊尔Purkot Daha的外科营地，由于电压波动，显微镜球囊在成形术中失效。一个自行车LED灯是通过一根光纤电缆临时制作的。这个案例既说明了外科团队的创造力，也说明了这种适应的风险，强调了对更好的准备、后备系统和可持续的低成本创新的长期投资的需求。

Improvising in adversity: Adapting a bicycle LED light as a light source for microscopic surgery in a surgical camp.

Surgical care in rural, resource-limited settings often faces challenges such as poor infrastructure and power instability. During a surgical camp in Purkot Daha, Nepal, a microscope bulb failed during myringoplasty due to voltage fluctuations. A bicycle LED light was improvised via a fibre-optic cable to complete the procedure. This case illustrates both the creativity of surgical teams and the risks of such adaptations, highlighting the need for better preparation, backup systems, and long-term investment in sustainable, low-cost innovations.
