Scissor-Knot-Pusher: An Instrument for Simplified Laparoscopic Extracorporeal Knotting
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the "scissor-knot-pusher," an instrument that greatly facilitates the execution of knot tying during laparoscopic operations. The instrument acts in essence as an extension of the surgeon's hand and, given its rigid structure, allows the surgeon full control of the process of knot tying. Additionally, after the knot has been tightened, it is possible to cut the suture without using a different instrument. As a result, this technical device simplifies knot tying and may help to reduce the frustration and the time often associated with intracorporeal suturing during laparoscopic surgery.

A Simple and Safe Extracorporeal Knotting Technique
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal knotting in laparoscopic surgery can be used in certain situations or as a bridge to mastering more technically demanding intracorporeal suturing. We describe a simple, easy, and safe extracorporeal knotting technique. TECHNIQUE DESCRIPTION A simple knotting technique, borrowed from the art of tatting, is used. DISCUSSION This very simple and safe technique has b...
متن کاملYS knot: A new technique for a tension-controlled slip knot using a trocar
The Yoon Soon (YS) knot is a laparoscopic extracorporeal slip knot that is easy to learn and apply. Our new technique, which uses the trocar as a knot pusher, is simpler, faster, and has more tension than conventional knot methods. The YS knot will help surgeons save operative time and perform tension-controlled knot-tying during laparoscopic surgery.
