General Surgery
RealHand HD instruments are taking laparoscopic General Surgery to a whole new level by providing:
- Enhanced dexterity & control
- A technological means to tackle open cases minimally invasively
- Versatility with port placement
Challenge conventional thinking on port placement
- Greater flexibility with port placement
- Overcome challenges posed by previous surgery, exposure or body habitus
- Reduce the number of ports
RealHand is proving to be an effective tool for minimally invasive General Surgery. RealHand has been utilized in a breadth of procedures such as:
| Lap Colectomy | Lap Esophagectomy |
| Lap Band | Lap Adrenalectomy |
| Lap Roux-en-Y | Lap Nissen |
| Lap Hernia | Lap Chole |
| Lap Heller Myotomy | Lap Lymphadenectomy |
| Lap Appendectomy | Lap Ventral Hernia |
| Lap G Tube Placement | Lap Appendectomy |
| Lap Splenectomy | Lap Paraesophageal Hernia |
Lap Colectomy
- Adaptability and versatility of port placement
- Freedom to dissect at multiple angles of attack
- Greater ability to handle, control and dissect bowel
Lap Band
- Make a smaller dissection window
- Take a shallower, more direct approach to grab the band
- Facilitate suturing
Lap Nissen
- Greater dexterity and control around the esophagus
- More precision in the wrap
Single Port
RealHand HD instruments uniquely enable the surgeon to reduce the number of trocars for surgery. RealHand facilitates single port laparoscopy by allowing triangulation of the instruments even after they are introduced in the same entry point. Many single port/single incision procedures are currently being performed entirely through the umbilicus. For the patient, this approach may yield less post-op pain, a reduced chance of infection or ventral hernia and better cosmetic results.
