Tissue Retractors
Palpation probes are very useful instruments and should be included in every laparoscopy pack (ssss1a). Palpation probes are single‐piece instruments with straight handles that come in 3‐ and 5 mm diameter sizes to fit through 3‐ and 5‐mm cannulas. They can also be used with a 10‐mm cannula if a reducer cap is used. They have long, thin shafts that are marked in centimeter intervals to help with measurement of lesions within the body cavity. Whereas 3‐mm palpation probes are available in 20‐ and 30 cm lengths, 5‐mm probes are available in a 36 cm length. Probes can serve many different functions, starting with the obvious palpation of organs and structures within a body cavity. They can also be used in a sweeping motion to move and retract organs such as the intestines, omentum, or spleen out of the viewing field, such as during laparoscopic ovariectomy or gastropexy, and they can be used to help stabilize organs during tissue dissection or ligation.
