Use of the pneumo sleeve as an adjunct in laparoscopic nephrectomy

S Y Nakada et al. Urology. 1997 Apr.

Abstract

Having "a hand" in the abdomen when performing laparoscopic surgery offers tactile feedback, rapid finger dissection, enhanced retraction capabilities, and simplified hemostasis for the operating surgeon. We utilized the Pneumo Sleeve for technically challenging laparoscopic nephrectomies. This device may have applicability in select urologic laparoscopic operations.
