A newly designed single dissector useful for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
We developed a modified dissector capable of carrying out a one-hand operation involving three fundamental functions: grasping, sharp or blunt dissection, and dividing the tissues. With this single dissector, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be rapidly and safely performed without changing the forceps or instruments through the trocar.
