What is MIS?
A minimally invasive medical procedure is defined as one that is carried out by entering the body through the skin or through a body cavity or anatomical opening, but with the smallest damage possible to these struct uresIncludes laparoscopic, endoscopic, and other approaches.
Why MIS?
Decreased patient pain
Decreased patient recovery period
Possible decrease in inflammatory response in the patient which may prove to have a better outcome in oncologic operations.
Distant future
In the distant future, there will be a para- digm shift with the development of non-inva- sive surgical techniques in combination with nanotechnologies and a new era in the devel- opment of surgery, and subsequently in surgi- cal techniques, will be opened.
Nanotechnology is an umbrella term for materials and devices that operate at the nanoskill (1 billionth of a meter). In terms of scale, a nanometer is approximately one 1/8000 of a human hair or 10 times the diam- eter of a hydrogen atom. The size of the device can vary but starts from a ten thou- sand-logic element system that will occupy a cube of no more than one hundred nanome- ters. This is a volume slightly larger than 0.001 cubic microns. This would be sufficient to hold a small computer. For example, if red blood cells are approximately eight microns in diameter, the 100 nanomicroprocessor will be 80 times smaller than a red blood cell. Devices this size could easily fit into the circulatory system and could even conceivably enter indi- vidual cells.
2. History of Laparoscopy
The first description dates to Hippocrates in
Greece, for use of a speculum to visualize
the rectum (460–375 BC).
A three bladed speculum was found in the ruins
of Pompeii*.
*A roman town buried by a volcano eruption
near modern Naples, Italy - 79 AD).
3. History of Laparoscopy
1806: Philip Bozzini developed an
instrument called a Lichtleiter
(light-guiding instrument)
1853: Antoine Jean Desormeaux
used Bozzini’s Lichtleiter
1867: Desormeaux used an open
tube to examine the genitourinary
tract
4. History of Laparoscopy
Maximilian Nitze (1848 – 1906)
invented the first cystoscope
(Nitze-Leiter cystoscope) using an
electrically heated platinum wire
for illumination.
In 1887, he modified Edison`s light
bulb and created the first electrical
light bulb for use during urological
procedures.
Original carbonfilament bulbThomas Edison
5. History of Laparoscopy
1901: George Kelling, Dresden,
Saxony (Germany) performed the
1st experimental laparoscopy,
calling it ‘Celioscopy’.
Kelling insufflated the abdomen of
a dog with filtered air and used a
Nitze cystoscope to look inside.

‘organoscopy’
Findings confirmed on laparotomy
8. History of Laparoscopy
1920: Zollikofer discovered the benefit of CO2 gas for insufflation
1938: Janos Veress developed a spring loaded needle for the
induction of pneumoperitoneum.
After World War II, the development of fiberoptics represented an
important step forward for endoscopy
1966: Hopkins rod lens scope & cold light
1974: Dr Harrith M Hasson, MD working in Chicago, proposed a blunt
mini-laparotomy which permitted direct visualization of the trocar
entrance into the peritoneal cavity. It is popularly known today as
Hasson‘s technique.

In 1970, after becoming the
chairman of Ob/Gyn at the
University of Kiel, his co-workers
demanded that he undergo a
brain scan because, they said,
“only a person with brain damage
would perform laparoscopic
surgery”
10. History of Laparoscopy
1985: Dr. Muhe (Prof Dr Med - Böblingen, Germany) performed
the first successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a human.
However, this was not well publicized until years later. The
German Surgical Society rejected Mühe in 1986 after he reported
that he had performed the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
11. Laparoscopy Takes Off
1988: 1st Lap cholecystectomy in the USA, Surgiport 1st
available
1989: US TV picks up on “Key Hole” surgery EndoClip™
released
1990: Cuschieri (Aberdeen) warns on the explosion of
endoscopy
1991: ‘Lap Chole’ is accepted and routine procedure
1992: The National Institutes of Health Consensus
Conference concludes that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is
now the preferred alternative to open cholecystectomy
12. Definition

17. Principle Differences between
Laparoscopic and Open Surgery
FOR THE PATIENT
Post operative pain related to size of incisionsmaller incisions =less pain.
Less Handling of intestines results in little or no
disturbance of normal function.
Avoidance of the trauma of abdominal wall injury
by the incision allows rapid return to normal
activity
No incision allows early return to more strenuous
activities: driving, lifting, sport etc.
18. Principle Differences between
laparoscopic and open surgery
FOR THE HOSPITAL
Initial capital costs to establish laparoscopic surgery in
the order of Rs 10 - 20 lacs
Reduced overall costs by shortening of hospital stay e.g.
cholecystectomy reduced from 5 to 1 day, hiatus hernia
repair reduced from 7 to 3 days.
19. Principle Differences between
laparoscopic and open surgery
For the Surgeon
Magnified view often better than obtained via an
incision allows precise dissection.
Altered (but not absent) tactile response
Two dimensional (flat screen) view.
Usually (but not always) longer operating time
Need to develop entirely different operating
technique
Adaptation of principles of open surgery to
laparoscopic surgery.
20. Instruments
Redesign of instruments for laparoscopic use.
Instruments for open surgery in general 6 – 10” in length
built around a box joint.
Laparoscopic instruments in general 15 – 18” in length
with an articulated connecting rod between handles and
scissor blades, jaws etc.
21. Equipment Necessary for MAS
Camera
Light Source
Insufflator
TV Monitor
Telescopes
Light Guide Cable
Apart from the
insufflator the system
will work better if all
the components are
from the same
company as one
piece talks to another
22. CAMERA
These can be single chip or 3 chip.
CHIP: thois is also called a charged coupled
device in short, CCD.
These are flat silicone wafers with a matrix, a
grid of minute image sensors called pixels.
White balance and sometimes black balance
Sleeve it don’t soak it!!!
23. Light Source
Halogen or Xenon, cold light but beware can still
burn holes in drapes esp. disposable and burn
patient’s skin if left on the abdomen.
Brightest to darkest measured in units of
decibels.
Automatic illumination, does it talk to the camera
and are the necessary leads plugged in.
Lamp life meter, look at it. Is it nearly out? EBME
keep the spares and they change it.
White balance by making sure white is correct
then all the colours through the spectrum are
correct.
24. Insufflator
CO2 because this has the same refractive
index as air, so doesn’t distort the image and
is non combustible.
Intraabdominal pressure run between 10 and
13 mmhg.
Use disposable filter and tubing for each
patient.
High flow insufflators (35 litres) output
determined by size of outlet.
Ensure you know how to change a cylinder
and were they are stored.
25. TV Monitors
Usually a 20” screen.
HD is better.
You can use a standard TV but it must be run
through an isolated transformer.
Horizontal resolution is the number of vertical
lines.
Vertical resolution is the number of horizontal
lines
More lines of resolution, better detail of picture.
26. Telescopes
Come in varying sizes, laparoscopes usually
5mm or 10mm.
Diagnostic 3mm scope available.
Made up of a rod and lens system.
Bundles of fibres, incoherent carry light and
coherent carry image.
Wide range of angles available 0, 30, 45 degree
are fairly standard.
All laparoscopes are autoclavable and can go
through sterilisation, no ultrasonic bath required.
Endo- chameleon- extra long for Bariatric
patients.
27. Light guide Cables
Different diameters
Fibre light cable
Buy auroclavable
Don’t bend to acutely as will break fibres.
Check when you plug them in are all the fibres are okay.
Condensers
28. Instrumentation
SINGLE USE: breaking the Law if you reuse it
on another patient.
Reusable take apart.
Need an ultrasonic washer to effectively clean
them, not for telescopes.
Don’t put 5mm cannulated instruments into a
bench top autoclave that does not have a
vacuum: vacuum is required to remove all air
form lumen of instrument.
Ports 5 and 10mm are the most common, make
sure the right trocar is in port and is it sharp.
29. Electrosurgery
You should be aware of the following
potential situations:
Insulation failure of the active electrode.
Direct coupling of current to other instrumentation
by direct contact.
Capacitance which may be created by two electrical
conductors separated by an insulator
30. Ultrascision or the Harmonic Scalpel
Electrical generator (the box)
This adjusts the amount of electrical energy
being delivered and monitors performance.
Transducer
This is where electrical energy is converted to
the ultrasonic waves. The frequency is fixed
however the amplitude alters with the power
input. the transducer is located in the hand
piece and is connected to the generator by an
electrical cable.
Dissection Instrument (peripheral hand piece)
A metallic rod is coupled to the transducer and
vibrates at the prescribed frequency (i.e.
55kHz). The tip of the rod contacts with the
surface tissue.
31. Principles of Piezo Electronics
The ultrasound waves are created by electrical
energy hitting a negatively charged crystal that
vibrates (expands and contracts) at a particular
frequency. These crystals are disc shaped and
made of ferroelectric ceramics. A pair of discs
“coupled” together produce a sinusoidal wave
form. This coupling results in a harmonic
waveform that is of high electroacoustic
efficiency.
32. VERESS NEEDLE
1938 - Janos Veress, of Hungary, developed the springloaded needle. to perform therapeutic pneumothorax
(TB).
Made of surgical stainless steel with a single trap valve.
2mm diameter x 80mm length
It consists of an outer cannula with a bevelled needle
point for cutting through tissues.
33. GAS INSUFFLATION
Controlled pressure insufflation of the peritoneal cavity
is used to achieve the necessary work space for
laparoscopic surgery.
Automatic insufflators allow the surgeon to preset the
insufflating pressure, and the device supplies gas until
the required intra-abdominal pressure is reached.
34. Trocar
The trocar has a blade with
a shaft and body.
The body includes a
pointed tip which makes
the initial incision in the
abdominal wall of the
patient.
(Trocar diameters range from
2mm-30 mm)
36. Telescope
There are three important
structural differences in
telescope available
1. 6 to 18 rod lens system
telescopes are available
2. 0 to 120 degree telescopes
are available
3. 1.5 mm to 15 mm of
telescopes are available
37. Optic cables
These cables are
made up of a bundle of
optical fibers glass
thread swaged at both
ends.
The fiber size used is
usually between 10 to
25 mm in diameter.
They have a very high
quality of optical
transmission, but are
fragile.
38. Dissecting & Grasping Forceps
Atraumatic
KELLY atraumatic
Atraumatic, with hollow jaws
MANGESHKAR Grasping
Forceps, serrated
39. General instruments
Reusable three-piece design
Available in 2 mm, 3 mm,
3.5mm, 5 mm and 10 mm
sizes, with lengths of 20 cm,
30 cm, 36 cm and 43 cm.
Choice of handle styles.
Fully rotating 360° sheath.
No hidden spaces that can
trap operative blood and
tissue debris.
40. Scissors
HOOK SCISSORS, single action
jaws
METZENBAUM SCISSORS,
curved, length of blades 12-17 mm,
widely used as an instrument for
mechanical dissection in
laparoscopic surgery.
STRAIGHT SCISSOR can give
controlled depth of cutting because
it has only one moving jaw.
43. Correct trocar placement should provide
direct access to the target organs,
an optimal view of the operative field
and minimize mental and muscular fatigue.
44. tro-car [Fr., troisis, three +carre, side] noun
a sharp-pointed surgical instrument
fitted with a cannula and used
especially to insert the cannula into
a body cavity
cannula - [L., dim of
canna,reed] noun
a tube that is inserted into a cavity
by means of a trocar filling it’s lumen

52. Additional
trocars can be
added along the
semicircular line.

73. 2. Do we have an answer for
groin pain after hernia repair?
86. APPENDECTOMY
Alternatively, an appendectomy can be performed through a
trocar in the umbilicus and two trocars in the suprapubic area
medial to the epigastric vessels for a superb cosmetic result (if
an extended right hemicolectomy is to be performed, the
hepatic flexure positioning is preferred.)

153. THE FUTURE
It has not changed the nature of disease
The basic principles of good surgery still
apply,including appropriate case selection, excellent
exposure,adequate retraction and a high level
technical expertise
If a procedure makes no sense with conventional
access, it will make no sense with a minimal access
approach
154. THE FUTURE
The cleaner and gentler the act of
operation, the less the patient
suffers, the smoother and quicker
his convalescence,the more
exquisite his healed wound.
Berkeley George Andrew Moynihan
Despite these advantages, there are still many drawbacks to a conventional laparoscopy.
The surgeon operates looking at a monitor that only shows a two dimensional image.
The rigid instruments the surgeon works with are controlled from a distance; they have no wrists, which decreases precision, dexterity and control.
As a result, the surgeon will also tire more quickly.
Due to the small incision, the participation of the assistant is limited. This makes complex gynecologic operations very difficult, resulting in a higher likelihood that you will receive larger incision.
The da Vinci System was designed to overcome the limitations of the traditional open and conventional laparoscopic (minimally invasive) approaches.
da Vinci is a state-of-the-art surgical robotic system that provides the extended capabilities necessary to complete your procedure using only a few small incisions.
With da Vinci Surgery, the surgeon is seated at a nearby console and always in full control of the robotic instruments.
Since the assistant is next to the patient and has direct access to the surgical site, he or she can assist during complex steps of the procedure.
Using master controls the System directly translates the surgeon’s hand movements into precise micro-movements of the instrument tips.
Specialized instruments increase dexterity, and help the surgeon to perform a more precise surgery.
The da Vinci System cannot be programmed to act on its own, and therefore requires the continuous, direct input of your surgeon.
If you remember from before, conventional minimally invasive instruments are rigid and have no wrists.
The EndoWrist instruments of the da Vinci System move like a human wrist.
This allows the surgeon to control the instruments with the precision necessary to perform complex procedures like lymph node dissection using only a few tiny incisions.
