A new bipolar cutting forceps simplifies esophagogastric fundoplication by safely dividing short gastric vessels. This surgical instrument enables reliable coagulation and division, potentially making the procedure more accessible.

Area of Science:

  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Instrumentation

Background:

  • Division of short gastric vessels is a technically demanding step in esophagogastric fundoplication.
  • A safe and reliable method for this division could increase procedure availability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of newly available bipolar cutting forceps for laparoscopic esophagogastric fundoplication.

Main Methods:

  • The 5-mm bipolar cutting forceps were used by one author for laparoscopic Toupet fundoplications and gastrojejunostomies.
  • The instrument was assessed in both locked and manual modes for coagulation and division capabilities.

Main Results:

  • The bipolar cutting forceps provided effective coagulation and division of omental and lesser curve tissues.

  • No intraoperative bleeding occurred, and all procedures were completed laparoscopically without conversion to open surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The bipolar cutting forceps offer a safe and effective tool for managing short gastric vessels during laparoscopic fundoplication.
    • This instrument may enhance the safety and accessibility of esophagogastric fundoplication procedures.
