Abstract
While the basic ingredients of laparoscopic visualization and instrumentation have not changed, all required components in support of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) have seen improvements in recent years, making potentially challenging procedures technically feasible and safe. Regardless of the new capabilities offered by innovative and enabling technologies, materials, and other parts of medical device manufacturing, the essential purpose of the finished products remains unchanged. First and foremost, new medical and surgical products are intended to support physicians and surgeons in making sound clinical decisions in the office, at the bedside, and in the operating room. Additionally, they are focused on expanding and strengthening the doctors’ capabilities. This chapter will go over the necessary basic and specialized equipment, as well as recent innovations in support of complex MIS surgical intervention during pregnancy.
