Claims15
A minimally invasive specimen retrieval pouch for debulking tissue comprising an open end with a drawstring attached and one or more sleeves positioned on lateral ends of the specimen retrieval pouch wherein said drawstring has a length extendable through a sheath in Port 1 of an abdominal cavity during a surgical procedure for drawing said open end closed and the said one or more sleeves are extendable through Port 2 and Port 3.
A method of debulking tissue comprising inserting a specimen retrieval pouch through a cannula, opening the specimen retrieval pouch end with a drawstring attached, pulling tissue into specimen retrieval pouch, and cutting tissue with electrosurgical or ultrasonic surgical instrument.
A method of cutting tissue comprising the steps of:
- a. inserting a specimen retrieval pouch through a cannula;
- b. opening specimen retrieval pouch;
- c. inserting tissue into proximal opening of the specimen retrieval pouch;
- d. inserting electrosurgical or ultrasonic instrument and video system into lateral ports of specimen retrieval pouch;
- e. cutting tissue with an electrosurgical or ultrasonic instrument.
A specimen retrieval pouch for use during laparoscopic surgical morcellation comprising at least one sleeve for inserting an electrosurgical or ultrasonic instrument.
A specimen retrieval pouch for use during laparoscopic surgical morcellation comprising at least two lateral sleeves for inserting an electrosurgical or ultrasonic instrument and a video system.
A method of debulking tissue comprising the steps of:
- a. inserting a specimen retrieval pouch through a cannula;
- b. opening specimen retrieval pouch;
- c. pushing tissue into proximal opening of the specimen retrieval pouch;
- d. inserting electrosurgical and ultrasonic instrument and video system into lateral sleeves pushing specimen retrieval pouch;
- e. cutting tissue with an electrosurgical or ultrasonic instrument.
