The invention comprises a surgical instrument assembly for minimally invasive surgery. The surgical instrument assembly comprises a light emitting arrangement and a surgical instrument. The surgical instrument has a distal end and a proximal end and comprises a handle portion at its proximal end and a grasper at its distal end, the grasper comprising at least two jaws and having a closed grasper position and an open position where a grasping space is formed between the jaws. The light emitting arrangement comprises a light source for generating light and a projector for projecting at least a beam of light comprising a string shape perpendicular to the optical axis of the beam of light. At least the projector of the light emitting arrangement is at least temporally fixed to the surgical instrument proximally to the jaws and is arranged to project the string shaped beam of light such that it will be broken upon a lateral movement of an object into the grasping space.
