MODEL RELEASED. Key hole surgery. Close-up of a small trochar (hollow tube-like needle,centre) inserted in the abdomen of a patient. A hose is being connected to the top of the trochar (upper centre). This will be used to fill the patient's abdomen with gas prior to insertion of laparoscopy (key hole) surgery equipment. Laparoscopy is a type of minimally invasive surgery that can be conducted through very small incisions unlike conventional surgical procedures. Filling the abdomen with gas expands the area,providing more space to manoeuvre equipment during surgery,and making it easier for the surgeon to see what they are doing | |
