ABSTRACT:
In a laparoscopic surgical closure method, a distal end portion of a laparoscopic instrument is inserted into an abdominal cavity of a patient through a trocar sleeve disposed in an abdominal wall of the patient. A surgical device such as a clip or a suture having two portions made of polymeric material is applied to an organic structure inside the patient. The instrument is manipulated to place the bonding component in operative contact with the surgical device upon application of the surgical device to the organic structure. Subsequently, the bonding component is operated to bond the two portions of the surgical device to one another to lock the surgical device to the organic structure. The bonding component at the distal end of the laparoscopic instrument may include a heat exchanger and/or an ultrasonic transducer.
