universal wide suction-irrigation cannula: a new instrument for operative laparoscopy

ABSTRACT

The suction irrigation tubes of 5 mm or less in diameter are currently used in all centers of operative laparoscpy allover the world. Time loss and interruption of the operative procedure is commonly fasced when there are thick materials to be removed. A new wider tube for suction and irrigation was designed by Hesham Murad and manufactured by Casmed of the United Kingdom and was used with 12 cases of operative pelviscopy both elective cases and acute emergenicy. The function of both tubes were compared together in every case. Time saving, better organ orientation without interruption of the operative procedure were noticed in all cases once the wide tubs was inserted and started its action. This wide suction tube is now successfully used with operative pelviscopy saving time, expenses and physical effort
