ABSTRACT:
Open surgery and endoscopic versions of a combined bipolar electrosurgical cutting and grasping instrument where the grasping surfaces are contained within the shape of a standard surgical scissor. This unique arrangement results in a combined scissor and grasper which has the feel of a standard scissor but which allows surgeons to cauterize tissue and vessels while both cutting and grasping thus making the instruments well suited to perform coaptation of vessels. Also disclosed herein, are methods for using the various combined electrosurgical cutting and grasping instruments.
