Application and research status of glove retrieval bag in thoracoscopic surgery / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The rapid development of minimally invasive surgery in thoracic surgery has significant advantages over traditional surgery.At the same time, problems such as the difficulty in obtaining specimens from small incisions and the increase in operating costs due to special medical consumables have also emerged. Therefore, how to remove surgical specimens safely, efficiently and cost-effectively is an important issue faced by thoracic surgeons during surgery. Operating room sterile gloves are often used as specimen collection bags and widely used in thoracic surgery and many other departments because of their easy availability, low cost, and good flexibility. At present, most of the glove specimen collection bags are based on sterile gloves, and various manufacturing methods have evolved by the combination with instruments and sutures.This article will briefly review the application of various forms of glove specimen retrieval bags in thoracoscopic surgery reported in existing research, analyze their advantages, disadvantages and scope of application, so as to provide references for future clinical applications and technological innovation researches.
