About Panickers Laparolift Screw For Gassless Laparoscopy
The Paniker Laparolift Screw is a surgical device for use in gasless laparoscopy. It helps elevate the abdominal wall to create the necessary working space for a surgeon without the use of insufflating gas.
This is specially designed screwing device with a short and broad screwing portion with a T-shaped handle which is heavy and long. One limb of the T is with a hole into which a thread can be attached. During laparoscopy the screw can be screwed into the abdominal wall 3cm above the pubic symphysis after making a nick in the skin. The screw will remain beneath the rectus sheath. The thread can be tied to the right angled bar fixed on the table. This will lift the abdominal wall. Because of the heavy handle the screw will not back rotate and slip.
Can be used as a starter lift followed by insertion of the abdominal lift. The abdominal lift is elevated to establish a Pneumoperitoneum at or near ambient air pressure.
