    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Traditional surgical knot tying can be difficult in restricted or poorly visualized surgical fields.
    • Limited access and obscured vision pose significant challenges during complex surgical procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a new surgical instrument designed for holding, carrying, and tying ligatures.
    • To address the limitations of traditional hand-tying techniques in challenging surgical environments.

    Main Methods:

    • The study describes a novel instrument engineered for ligature manipulation.
    • The instrument's design facilitates secure knot tying in confined spaces.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The instrument has been successfully employed in various surgical procedures, including deep pelvic surgery, cholecystectomy, and highly selective vagotomy.
    • Demonstrated utility in complex surgical scenarios where traditional methods are challenging.

    Conclusions:

    • The described instrument offers a viable solution for ligature placement in difficult surgical access areas.
    • Potential applications include peraxillary transthoracic cervical sympathectomy and other procedures requiring precise knot tying under challenging conditions.
