There are several basic instruments that are commonly used in laparoscopic surgery. These instruments are designed to be inserted through small incisions in the abdomen and allow the surgeon to manipulate tissue, grasp and hold structures, cut and dissect tissue, and seal vessels. Some of the basic laparoscopic instruments include:
Trocars: Trocars are surgical instruments that are used to create a port of entry for other instruments into the abdominal cavity. They consist of a pointed tip, a cannula, and a sealing mechanism to prevent gas leakage.
Laparoscope: A laparoscope is a long, thin instrument with a camera attached to it that is inserted through a trocar to visualize the internal organs.
Graspers: Graspers are used to manipulate and grasp tissue. They come in different shapes and sizes, and can have either straight or curved jaws.
Scissors: Laparoscopic scissors are used to cut and dissect tissue. They can be either straight or curved and come in different lengths.
Dissectors: Dissectors are used to separate and dissect tissue. They can have either a blunt or sharp tip and come in different lengths and widths.
Clip appliers: Clip appliers are used to apply metal clips to seal blood vessels or other structures.
Electrosurgical instruments: Electrosurgical instruments are used to cut and coagulate tissue using an electrical current. They include instruments such as the monopolar and bipolar electrosurgical instruments.
These are some of the basic laparoscopic instruments used in surgery. The specific instruments used will depend on the type of surgery being performed and the surgeon's preference.
