Tissue-puncher and loop-ligation--new aids for surgical-therapeutic pelviscopy (laparoscopy) = endoscopic intraabdominal surgery.
The optimal development of the pelviscopic instruments for diagnostic purposes provides us with the start in the field of surgical therapeutic pelviscopy. Newly developed instruments: Loop ligation-applicator, Tissue-Puncher (morcellation-forceps), Aqua-Purator and the new CO2-PNEUS-AUTOMATIC (S = security) have enabled us to replace some of the prior operations requiring classic gynecologic laparotomy with surgical-therapeutic pelviscopy: Ovarectomy, adnectomy, myomectomy, cystectomy, resection of the tube-pregnancy. After more than 2,200 smaller surgical interventions were performed successfully since 1973 via pelviscopy with the hemostasis aided by 100 degrees C destructive heat (Endocoagulatory, Crocodile-Forceps and Point-Coagulator) more than 50 ovarectomies etc, could be performed in 1977 via pelviscopy without intra- or postoperative complications.
