OPTIC ATTACHMENT TO A MICROSURGICAL FORCE PS

The authors suggest an original optic attachment to a microsurgical fo rceps which removes the shortcomings of the traditional optic apparatu ses used in microsurgery. The attachment allows the lens to be brought directly to the operative zone and combines the functions of two inst ruments - forceps and magnifying glass. Such a combination expands con siderably the possibilities of the operator and creates optimal condit ions for precision manipulations. The optic attachment is used in reco nstructive and restorative operations on the bile ducts and in operati ons on the large intestine at the stage of precision suture applicatio n.
