Abstract
A technique is described for extraction of bulky tissue during laparos copic surgery using a dedicated non-disposable instrument specifically designed for the purpose. The technique was used on seven patients wi th acute cholecystitis, three patients with big gallstones in elective cholecystectomy and two patients with acute appendicitis. The procedu re took about 1 min in all patients. No patient suffered from complica tions related to the procedure.
