[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 9434830, member: 88"]That is confusing. :confused::confused: :hilarious: This type of trocar would not be used today unless you are in some remote area where modern things are not available. The trocars they use now are all disposable mainly because the reusable ones were very difficult to clean. They also were just a very big sharp nail inside a tube that if you weren't careful could poke a hole in something very vital. :eek::eek: The late 1980s was also when laparoscopy surgery started to expand to include more surgeries such as gall bladder surgery.
