How do laparoscopic instruments work?
The working grasper jaws articulate by rotating in a plane perpendicular to the plane of opening and closing of the jaws. This articulation provides nonlinear access at the surgical site. When the instrument is in scissors mode, one of the jaws is held stationary.
What is trocar and cannula?
A trocar (or trochar) is a medical or veterinary device that is made up of an awl (which may be a metal or plastic sharpened or non-bladed tip), a cannula (essentially a hollow tube), and a seal. Trocars are placed through the abdomen during laparoscopic surgery.
