Mini-Laparoscopy in Gynecology
Nowadays aesthetics play a significant role in the choice of the surgical technique. With the upcoming of NOTES and Associated Procedures the mini-laparoscopic technique has regained importance for the last few years.
Besides the convincing cosmetic aspect the advancement of the minimal invasive surgical techniques towards the low-risk Mini-Laparoscopy bears an essential advantage: trauma and strain of the patient are reduced to a minimum.
KARL STORZ offers a complete set for Mini-Laparoscopy which has been especially composed for application in gynecology. Due to the combination of established 5 mm coagulation instruments with 3 mm forceps and scissors, smallest access can be combined with finest preparation and effective homeostasis.
In addition to an umbilical 6 mm trocar, a second 6 mm suprapubic trocar is used, which allows the application of a bipolar RoBi® forceps or the GORDTS and CAMPO bipolar suction and irrigation electrode with 5 mm of outer diameter. Furthermore it enables a change of the 5 mm telescope from the umbilical to the suprapubic access in case of distinct adhesions. The two lateral 3.5 mm trocars enable using the small 3 mm instruments, leaving only hardly visible scars to the patient.
