title: Multifunctional laparoscopic surgical instruments.
abstract: A miniature hook scissors was developed which facilitates the incision of the cystic duct and other important structures because of the characteristics. The organ in question can be hooked first before cutting, and with slight movements, the cut can be determined. Unnecessary transsection can be avoided. Simultaneous irrigation helps in case of oozing. A miniature alligator forceps can serve as a peanut holder for blunt dissection and can be of great help in case of gallbladder wall perforations in grasping the edges of the hole with great precision. After the open endo loop is placed, part of the organ in question is tented, to help to place the loop underneath with ease. Because of the teeth appropriate grasping of oedematous or thin walls is secured.
