Use of laparoscopic instruments in conventional mobilisation of the rectum
1Department of Surgery, Leicester Royal Infirmary.
Abstract:
The use of conventional instruments for dissection within confined operating fields such as the pelvis may obscure the surgeon's view, and limit his reach. The long, narrow instruments used during laparoscopic surgery, particularly the diathermy scissors can facilitate bloodless dissection under direct vision during conventional surgery, improving the accuracy of procedures such as mobilisation of the rectum.
