steerable Laparoscopic cable ring Forceps
Journal of Medical Devices-transactions of The Asme, 2010Co-Authors: Paul BreedveldAbstract:Laparoscopic surgery is carried out using long and slender endoscopes and instruments that are inserted through small incisions in the abdominal wall. Current endoscopes and instruments are rigid and have the drawback that their motion is restricted to 4-degrees of freedom (DOF). This paper describes a 6-DOF steerable Laparoscopic Grasping Forceps incorporating a novel and very simple “cable-ring” mechanism consisting out of a ring of cables surrounded by two coil springs. Methods are described to increase stiffness and to improve manual control, resulting in a well-working prototype suitable for commercialization. The paper ends with a discussion on a number of cable-ring variants suitable for challenging new steerable designs in the future.

Removal of an intraperitoneal foreign body using a single port Laparoscopic procedure.
JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, 2011Co-Authors: Cristian Lupascu, Marius Dabija, Corina Ursulescu, Andronic D, Ciprian Vasiluta, Manuela UrsaruAbstract:Background and Objectives: To remove a foreign body from the peritoneal cavity in Laparoscopic surgery, 2 or 3 ports are usually used. We have recently performed such a removal using a single 10-mm transumbilical port, a 0-degree laparoscope, a Farabeuf retractor, and a Laparoscopic Grasping Forceps. Methods: Two patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter (V-P shunt) were admitted to our unit during the last year. They previously had a shunt catheter implanted for hydrocephalus of unknown cause. The complete migration of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter into the peritoneal cavity was observed in these patients 12 and 7 years after the implantation. The Laparoscopic removal of the migrated catheter was decided on. Its presence and location were confirmed by the use of a 0-degree laparoscope, through a 10-mm trocar port. The catheter was held and pulled out using a Grasping Forceps that was pushed in just beside the trocar port. Conclusion: The Laparoscopic approach enables safe removal of a foreign body in the peritoneal cavity. The procedure can be performed using a single port.

A simple maneuver to replace dislodged Laparoscopic port
'Elsevier BV', 2004Co-Authors: Ho K.m., Bollens Renaud, Quackels Thierry, Roumeguere Thierry, Schulman ClaudeAbstract:Inadvertent dislodgment of Laparoscopic port can occur despite preventive measures. We describe a simple maneuver to replace a dislodged port using a palpation probe. The principle is analogous to that of using a Laparoscopic Grasping Forceps. It is easy to perform, quick, reliable, safe, and particularly useful for the laparoscopists in training. © 2004 Elsevier Inc.SCOPUS: cp.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
