ABSTRACT:
A surgical device includes a pair of end effector members. Rotation of one or both of the members about the longitudinal axis thereof enables a section of tissues to be inserted between the members and then grasped and compressed thereby. In use in laparoscopy, the members are rotated (or biassed) to the closed position to enable insertion of the members through a cannula, and, once inside the patient, the members are rotated from the closed position so that tissue can be inserted therebetween for gripping purposes. Electrosurgical current is applied to the members to provide coagulation of tissue held between the members. By simply rotating the rotating member between two opposed positions, coagulation can be carried out at two spaced zones. A third cutting member may then be used to cut the tissue along a midline between the coagulation zones. In another embodiment, a cutting edge on the rotating member is rotated into position to cut tissue after a further, blunt edge of the rotating member has been positioned relative to the fixed member to provide coagulation.
