In the context of medical and surgical instruments related to the stomach, a variety of tools are used for diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical purposes. Here are some instruments commonly associated with stomach-related procedures:
Gastroscopes:
Gastroscopes are flexible or rigid endoscopes used for visualizing the interior of the stomach. They are inserted through the mouth and into the stomach to diagnose and treat various gastrointestinal conditions.
Biopsy Forceps:
Biopsy forceps are used during endoscopic procedures to obtain tissue samples from the stomach lining for diagnostic purposes. These samples are typically examined under a microscope to identify abnormalities.
Suction Tubes:
Suction tubes are used to remove fluids, gastric contents, or debris from the stomach during endoscopic procedures or surgeries to maintain a clear view.
Trocar and Cannula:
Trocars and cannulas may be used in laparoscopic procedures for accessing the abdominal cavity, including the stomach, to perform minimally invasive surgeries.
Stomach Clamps:
Various types of clamps, such as atraumatic bowel clamps, may be used during surgical procedures involving the stomach to temporarily occlude blood vessels or secure tissues.
Babcock Grasping Forceps:
Babcock forceps are atraumatic forceps used to grasp and manipulate delicate tissues, such as the stomach or intestines, during surgical procedures.
Gastric Dilators:
Gastric dilators are used to dilate or expand the opening of the stomach. They may be used in certain medical conditions or during surgery.
Gastric Suction Tubes:
Gastric suction tubes are inserted through the nose or mouth into the stomach to remove gastric contents or perform gastric lavage. They are commonly used in emergency situations or during certain medical treatments.
Ligating Clips:
Ligating clips may be used to secure blood vessels or tissues during gastric surgeries to control bleeding and ensure hemostasis.
Stomach Retractors:
Retractors are used to hold back and expose tissues during surgical procedures. In stomach surgeries, retractors help provide better visibility and access to the surgical site.
