A laparoscopic vessel sealer with a cutter is a specialized instrument used in laparoscopic surgery to simultaneously seal and cut blood vessels or tissue. It combines the functions of vessel sealing and tissue dissection into a single instrument, providing efficiency and precision during surgical procedures. Here's how a laparoscopic vessel sealer with a cutter is used:

ü  Trocar Placement: Trocars (hollow tubes) are inserted into the abdominal cavity through small incisions to provide access for the laparoscopic instruments, including the vessel sealer with a cutter.

ü  Instrument Insertion: The laparoscopic vessel sealer with a cutter is inserted through one of the trocar ports, controlled by the surgeon from outside the patient's body.

ü  Tissue Grasping: The surgeon maneuvers the jaws of the vessel sealer to grasp the blood vessel or tissue that needs to be sealed and cut.

ü  Sealing: Once the tissue is properly grasped, the vessel sealer with a cutter activates its energy function, typically using bipolar energy. The instrument applies a combination of pressure and energy to the tissue between the jaws. This causes the vessel walls to heat up, denature, and fuse together, creating a sealed section and preventing bleeding.

ü  Cutting: After sealing the vessel, the vessel sealer with a cutter has an integrated cutting mechanism.
