Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.
For some patients suffering from heart disease, cardiac surgery can provide the best, most durable outcomes.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Working through small abdominal incisions with precision instruments, the surgeon can remove the uterus with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue, resulting in faster recovery, reduced postoperative pain, and minimal scarring.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy vs. Open Hysterectomy:
Customized for minimally invasive approaches, LSI technology provides enhanced ergonomics and reliable performance for uterine manipulation and vaginal cuff closure. Facilitated by this innovative technology platform, surgeons can confidently offer their patients the significant advantages of laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Enhanced Uterine Manipulation
The FORNISEE® System provides clear visibility of anatomical landmarks by transilluminating the vaginal vault. This feature provides superior visualization of the fornices for precise colpotomy incisions. The FORNISEE® handle enhances ergonomics during the procedure, while the fully metal intrauterine FS® SOUND facilitates tissue manipulation and specimen removal.
After the colpotomy and the removal of the uterus, the RD180® and Ti-KNOT® devices enable remote closure of the vaginal cuff through small incisions. Available in 5mm, 10mm, and Single-Port sizes, the RD180® automates absorbable suture placement for a figure-of-eight, simple-interrupted, or running-stitch closure. When suturing is complete, the Ti-KNOT® Device places a titanium fastener for instant suture security with no manual knot-tying.
The μTUMA technique is a cutting-edge preventive therapy for patients with smaller prostates undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) procedures. After resecting the prostatic tissue, the surgeon “advances” healthy bladder mucosa tissue over the prostate fossa. Early clinical results using the JNW URTRAC® Instrument Guide to facilitate the μTUMA technique are encouraging for reducing the risk of post-TURP BNS, helping patients get back to their normal lives after their initial procedure.
