Hello again dear readers! Today I want to share briefly about basic surgical instruments. I realized that I haven't posted anything regarding surgery yet and I thought this is going to be a good start.
Note: This webpage I found is basically show the instruments which are used in veterinary medicine field.
***************************************************************
Surgical instruments exist in vast numbers and varieties due to many types of operation such as laparotomy, rumenotomy, gastrotomy and many more.
The following are examples of the basic instruments that should learned by every beginning surgeon.
1. Scissors
Classification by types of points
All types of scissors can have blunt or sharp blades (A: Sharp:Sharp, B: Blunt:Blunt)
All types can have either straight or curved blades.
1. Mayo and Matsembaum
Metzenbaum scissors (A) are more delicate than Mayo scissors.
Metzenbaum scissors are used to cut delicate tissues.Metzenbaum scissors have a longer handle to blade ratio.
2. Forceps
Consist of two tines held together at one end with a spring device that holds the tines open. Forceps can be either tissue or dressing forceps.
Dressing forceps have smooth or smoothly serrated tips.Tissue forceps have teeth to grip tissue. Many forceps bear the name of the originator of the design, such as Adson tissue forceps.
Rat tooth forceps
Used to hold skin/dense tissue.
Adson tissue forceps
Small serrated teeth on edge of tips.The Adsons tissue forceps has delicate serrated tips designed for light, careful handling of tissue.
Allis tissue forceps
Interdigitating short teeth to grasp and hold bowel or tissue.Slightly traumatic, use to hold intestine, fascia and skin.
Babcock forceps
More delicate that Allis, less directly traumatic.Broad, flared ends with smooth tips.Used to atraumatically hold viscera (bowel and bladder)
Sponge forceps
Sponge forceps can be straight or curved.Sponge forceps can have smooth or serrated jaws.
Used to atraumatically hold viscera (bowel and bladder).
Hemostatic forceps
They are used to clamp and hold blood vessels.
Hemostatic forceps and hemostats may be curved or straight.
Kelly and mosquitoes forceps
Both are transversely serrated.
Mosquito hemostats (A) are more delicate than Kelly hemostatic forceps (B).
Mosquito hemostats (A) have a smaller, finer tip.
Carmalt forceps
Heavier than Kelly.Preferred for clamping of ovarian pedicals during an ovariohysterectomy surgery because the serrations run longitudinally.
Doyen intestinal forceps
Doyen intestinal forceps are non-crushing intestinal occluding forceps with longitudinal serrations.Used to temporarily occlude lumen of bowel.
Payr Pylorus forceps
Payr pylorus clamp is a crushing intestinal instrument.
Used to occlude the end of bowel to be resected.
Needle holder
Hinged (locking) instrument used to hold the needle while suturing tissue.
Mayo Hager (most common use)
Heavy, with mildly tapered jaws.
No cutting blades.
Olsen Hager
Includes both needle holding jaw and scissors blades.The disadvantage to having blades within the needle holder is the suture material may be accidentally cut
Scalpel Handle and blades
No3 and No4 scalpel handle
Blades #10, 11, 12, 15 fit the #3 handle.
Blades #22, #23 fit the #4 handle and are commonly used for large animals
Disposable Scalpel
Towel clamps
Locking forceps with curved, pointed tips.
Towel clamps secure drapes to a patient's skin. They may also be used to hold tissue.

An upper endoscopy usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to finish. When the procedure is over then, the doctor will firmly remove the endoscope. After that, you will go to a recovery room and an endoscopy procedure includes entering a long, flexible tube down your throat and into your esophagus. A small camera that appears on the end of the endoscope allows your doctor to identify the esophagus stomach and the starting of your small intestine.
