| Abstract: | A technique is described for extraction of bulky tissue during laparoscopic surgery using a dedicated non-disposable instrument specifically designed for the purpose. The technique was used on seven patients with acute cholecystitis, three patients with big gallstones in elective cholecystectomy and two patients with acute appendicitis. The procedure took about 1 min in all patients. No patient suffered from complications related to the procedure. |
