[Evolution and infection control security in endoscopic surgical instrumentation]

Abstract

The evolution of the endoscopic equipment in gynecologic surgery for the last years makes this procedure easier, more reliable and performant, with decreased morbidity. The instruments are more and more specific. The place and the interest for single use instruments will probably be modified. On the other side, nosocomial infections are spreading and the sterilisation procedures of the endoscopic surgical instruments, often more flimsy, are more drastic. It modify the working plan and the functioning costs of the operative rooms but it's now a legal point to respect this evolution.
