Laparoscopic Instruments on the Field
Captions available
The idea
Laparoscopic instruments are long, shafted versions of open instruments that grasp, retract, cut, cauterize and suture through ports.
In practice
They are arranged on the field so they can be passed quickly, with energy instruments kept with their cords controlled.
Where people slip
Their tips are fine and their shafts insulated, so they are handled carefully and inspected.
