  • Title: Laparoscopic surgery--basic armamentarium.
    Author: Girotti MJ, Nagy AG, Litwin DE, Mamazza J, Poulin EC.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1992 Jun; 35(3):281-4. PubMed ID: 1535546.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of laparoscopic techniques into standard intracavitary surgery has received widespread acceptance in North American surgical practice in a very short time. To complete these procedures successfully a basic armamentarium is required by surgeons. The equipment should provide safe conduct of the procedure and maximum flexibility in the types of surgical procedures to be undertaken. The basic laparoscopic equipment needed to facilitate minimal-access-site surgery is reviewed, from the operating table and lighting in the operating room through optics, cameras and television monitors to the instruments and agents needed for the surgical techniques and for securing hemostasis.
