Abstract:
Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has been limited to the use of very few instruments, which but at least include energy device, grasping forceps, and suction. The last two instruments must be temporarily replaced by each other in response to situation. This step prolongs operative duration and potentially impairs the surgical efficiency. We describe a novel instrument design of grasping forceps support suction. Its continuous suction can clear the smoke and blood simultaneously to keep the operative field dry and clean, minimize the requirement to exchange surgical devices, and allow for optimized surgical workflow.
