2.2 Laparoscopic Hand Instruments
These are all the instruments used in performing laparoscopic surgery. The two varieties of hand instruments are dismountable and non-
dismountable. The dismountable instruments can be separated into different parts, namely, the han­dle, shaft, and working element (the jaw), while the non-dismountable ones cannot be separated into different parts (Fig.5). The hand instrument has a rotator mechanism on the handle to adjust

the direction of application and a knob for attach­ment of the diathermy cable to energize the instrument if required.
The dismountable instruments have better asepsis, have wider options with minimum extra costs and are economical to repair. They, however, are more expensive and have weaker construction and weaker tactile feedback [2]. The non-dis­mountable instruments are cheaper and have a stronger design, longer life span and better tactile feedback. However, they have limited repair options and have an increased risk of sepsis due to tissue materials impacting the joints and crevices in the instrument. The commonly used hand instruments in MAS are discussed below.
2.2.1 Dissecting Forceps
They are commonly called “Maryland” and func­tions like the artery forceps in open surgery (Fig.6). They are used for tissue dissection and can be energized for electro-dissection. The monopolar or bipolar options are available.
2.2.2 Grasping Forceps
These serve as the surgeon’s hands and hence are indispensable in laparoscopic surgeries. There are two types:
1. Traumatic. This is toothed (ne or coarse). It can also be called “Allis”. It is used to handle thick tissue like fascia, muscle and any other tissue to be removed from the body. See Fig.7.
2. Atraumatic. This is non-toothed and could be fenestrated or non-fenestrated for holding fragile tissues like fallopian tubes, intestines, etc. Also, there is a particular design called Babcock like the one in open surgery.
2.2.3 Scissors
Like in open surgery, the scissors are used for cutting. There are three commonly available types. The hook scissors is used for cutting sutures. The others are the straight scissors and curved scissors which are used for cutting and dissecting tissues. During usage, ensure that the scissors cut from “end to edge”. See Fig.8.

2.2.4 Biopsy Forceps
They are specially made for taking tissue speci­men (Fig.8).
2.2.5 Suction/Irrigation Cannula
This same instrument serves as a channel for both irrigation and suction. It has two openings, one for connection to the irrigation tube and the other for connection to the suction tube. There is a knob for switching to the irrigation channel which automatically turns off the suction channel and vice versa. It has either reusable suction tips or disposable suction tips.
The suction function can be used to aspirate uid including blood from the pelvis, drain ovar­ian cysts, etc. The irrigation function can be used for peritoneal lavage, hydro-dissection, and cool­ing tissues that have been subjected to thermal energy. See Fig.9.
2.2.6 Energy Delivery Instruments
These are instruments used to deliver energy to the tissue being operated. The energy used dur­ing MAS is usually in the cutting or coagulation

function as monopolar, bipolar or tripolar tech­nology. As the current passes through the tissue with high resistance, heat energy is generated which cuts or coagulates the tissue. Bipolar instruments are safer than monopolar as the cur­rent only has to travel between the prongs of the electrodes and not through the patient. Many laparoscopic hand instruments can also be ener­gized to serve as energy delivery instruments.
2.2.7 Hysteroscopic Hand
Instruments and Units
Just like laparoscopy, hysteroscopy makes use of hand instruments. Because of the narrower working space in hysteroscopy, these instru­ments tend to be more slender and longer than those used in laparoscopy. However, the work­ing tips are similar. Common accessory instru-

2.2.8 Hysteroscopy Sheaths
We have diagnostic and operative sheaths which can be exible or rigid. See Fig.13.

The hysteroscope has an inner sheath that pro­vides the channel for the telescope and the inow port for delivery of the distending media. It has an outer sheath with the outow for the return of distension media. The diameter of the sheath depends on the outer diameter of the telescope and generally has a 1-mm clearance between the inner wall of the inner sheath and the telescope to create room for delivery of the distending media. This is the diagnostic sheath. The operative sheath is larger and has an extra port for the inser­tion of the operating instrument. This operating channel is sealed with a rubber nipple or gasket to prevent leakage of the distending medium. See Fig.14.

2.2.9 Resectoscopes
Resectoscope is a specialized electrosurgical endoscope (monopolar or bipolar) that consists of an inner sheath and outer sheath like the hys­teroscopy sheaths (Fig.15). The outer sheath is for uid return, while the inner sheath has a com­mon channel for the telescope, uid medium and electrode. It has a double-armed electrode tted to a trigger device that pushes the electrode out beyond the sheath and then pulls it back within the sheath. The operating tool consists of four basic electrodes: a cutting loop, ball, button and angulated needle (Fig.16). Traditionally, resecto­scopes are monopolar instruments, but bipolar resectoscopes are gradually replacing them for reasons of safety [1].
Most resectoscopes have a 30°telescope. The lens is angled toward the electrode to per­mit a clear view of the near operative eld. It can be used with monopolar or bipolar circuit. When using monopolar mode, a non-electrolyte medium like glycine, sorbitol and mannitol is used and the patient return plate is applied. For bipolar mode, electrolyte medium like nor­mal saline or non-electrolyte medium can be used. It has its special generator and a patient return plate is not required. The biggest advan­tage of bipolar is that the risk of hyponatrae­mia is obviated. Glycine causes hyponatraemia which can cause cerebral oedema and death

[2]. Resectoscopes are useful in a submucous myomectomy, polypectomy, intrauterine adhe­siolysis, endometrial resection/ablation and metroplasty.
2.2.10 Media Delivery Systems
They are used to deliver the distending medium into the uterine cavity. The media delivery sys­tem can be manually operated or automated. The pressure bag is manually operated and allows for intermittent uid delivery leading to interruptions during the procedure. This sys­tem can sufce for diagnostic purposes. Hystero-pump is automated and ensures con­tinuous uid delivery at controlled pressure (Fig.17). It is recommended for all procedures (especially operative) where interruptions may be detrimental.

dye tests. They can also improvise for uterine manipulation but the degree of manipulation is limited. The Sparkman cannula (Fig.19) is pre­ferred because it can be anchored to the tenacu­lum, unlike the Leech-Wilkinson variety.

3.3 Tissue Morcellators
Sometimes during laparoscopic procedures, the tissue excised may be bigger than the size of the incision made and the retrieval of the tissue becomes a challenge. Rather than making a large

incision for the sole aim of retrieving the tissue, the laparoscopic tissue morcellator (see Fig.20a) is used to slice the excised tissue into strands/bits that can be retrieved through port sites.
There are also hysteroscopic morcellators. Examples are the TruClear hysteroscopic morcella­tor and the MyoSure tissue remover. Hysteroscopic morcellators are used for hysteroscopic polypec­tomy and myomectomy. See Fig.20b.
3.4 Monopolar Drill
It is a monopolar instrument that is used for lapa­roscopic ovarian drilling in polycystic ovaries. See Fig.21.

3.5 Probes
Blunt probe is used for movement, displacement, stabilization and manipulation of mobile tissues (e.g. intestines and ovaries) during endoscopic procedure. See Fig.22.
3.6 Myoma Screw andStriper
It is used in myomectomy for enucleation of uter­ine myomas (particularly the intramural types). See Fig.22.
4 Instruments forTissue
Approximation andHaemostasis
These include instruments used for suturing and for application of clips and staples.
A. The needle driver/holder is used for sutur­ing. The jaws could be straight, curved or toothed in some designs to include grasping function (Fig.23). The handle may be straight or curved. The straight handle is considered to be ergonomi­cally more suitable for suturing in varying situations.
B. The clip applicator is used to put the clips in place (Fig.24). A sturdy clip applicator is pre­ferred as the process of applying clips uses a lot of force. The clips come in three sizes– small, medium and large. The clip applicator similarly has detachable tips of different sizes to match the small, medium and large clip sizes.
C. Laparoscopic staplers are used for the application of surgical staples. The Endo GIA laparoscopic stapler is designed for gastrointesti­nal anastomosis but can be used in gynaecologic laparoscopy as a stapling device for securing hae­mostasis and dividing tissue (Dutta, 2013) [3]. After placing and ring the preloaded device, six staggered rows of staples, 3 cm in length and 1 cm in width, are left behind. A knife blade simultaneously divides the tissue, leaving three

rows of staples on each side of the incision. See Fig.25.
D. Harmonic makes use of ultrasound energy source, and hence, there is no risk of electrical injury. It is used in cutting or coagulation of tis­sues. It is effective in sealing of vessels up to 4mm in diameter. See Fig.10c.
E. LigaSure: It is used to cut, vaporize, coagulate and seal blood vessels. LigaSure works on bipolar technology. It is less likely to cause lateral thermal spread, sticking and char­ring of tissues. It seals blood vessels, up to 7mm in size.

5 Instruments forAccess
5.1 Veress Needle
It is used to insufate the abdomen with gas so as to create pneumoperitoneum (Fig.26). It is avail­able in reusable and disposable models. It con­tains a spring-loaded tip that retracts as it pierces the abdominal wall, allowing a blunt tip to engage on entry to the peritoneal cavity. The spring sys­tem helps to avoid injury to the bowel, intra­abdominal organs and major blood vessels [3].
5.2 Trocar andCannula/Sleeve
They are used to pierce the abdominal wall and create a conduit for the placement of the laparo­scope and hand instruments (Figs. 27 and 28). The cannula bears the trocar. After piercing the abdominal wall, the trocar is removed and the telescope or hand instrument is introduced through the cannula (sleeve). The trocar/cannula ranges from 3 to 15 mm in diameter so as to accommodate the various sizes of telescopes and instruments. Trocar and cannula are available as reusable, disposable and reposable systems.
