Medical tools and instruments used during laparoscopic surgery depend on the type of disease to be treated. However, most of the time, the surgeon uses these standard tools and equipment during laparoscopy –
Laparoscope – Used to generate images of the organs and tissues around the abdomen.
Needle driver – Used for suturing the wound after the surgery.
Trocar – Assists in draining the fluid from the body.
Bowel grasper – Used to grasp abdomen tissue without having to cut open the abdomen.
Surgical mesh – Adds extra strength to the abdominal wall to prevent a recurrence.
