ABSTRACT:
A method for use during laser surgery comprises the steps of providing a flexible hose having a plurality of apertures spaced from each other along a distal end portion of the hose and forming a portion of the hose into an arcuate segment about an opening in a patient. A distal end segment of the hose is inserted through the opening into a body cavity of the patient. A proximal end of the hose is connected to a suction source, and suction is applied to the hose to draw in air through apertures in the arcuate segment and in the distal end segment.
