  • Title: Instruments and equipment used in operative laparoscopy.
    Author: Reich H, Maher PJ.
    Journal: Baillieres Clin Obstet Gynaecol; 1994 Dec; 8(4):687-705. PubMed ID: 7882620.
    Abstract:
    Successful operative laparoscopy is dependent on the proper use and knowledge of a variety of appropriate surgical equipment. This chapter describes cameras, light sources, videos, video positioning, operating tables, anaesthesia, insufflators, laparoscopes, trocars, irrigators, forceps, scissors, electrosurgical instruments, lasers, suturing, staples and uterine manipulators. Knowledge of the best choice and proper use of instruments has a more important role in performing operative laparoscopy than laparotomy.
