Introduction:
There is a wide range of instruments available for use during the surgical procedure, each with its own specific uses and advantages (and disadvantages).
As a surgeon, it is important to know not only their names but also when they should be used, and each will have its own specific kit.
In this article, we cover the key tools found in the common set for open abdominal surgery.
History:
The forehead has historically been overlooked in older face renewals. The main procedure for facial rejuvenation has always been rhytidectomy. In the late 20th century, forehead surgery began to rejuvenate . Pasto is generally recognized as a pioneer in the field. Many other surgeons described their work in later years [3-6]. Interest in these methods faded, as the effects were often temporary. However, as with most plastic surgery procedures, Brown's interest in renewal renewed in the second half of the 20th century, when new techniques were developed and results improved.
Historically, all eyebrow rejuvenation procedures have been performed using open technique. Although this procedure has the best long-term results, patients and surgeons are often reluctant to undergo such a procedure with the incision and recovery time. Due to the arrival of endoscopic technique in the early 1990's, surgical renewal of the upper third of the face became increasingly popular [10 – 14]. This phenomenon, with the advent of non-invasive paralysis agents, brought to the fore the renewal of the forehead in facial renewal.
Basic Instruments:
The most ordinary instrument stand which is used in the basic procedure of plastic surgery is a stainless steel dressing tray, often called the Mayo stand. This mobile support stand has an upper tray for supporting devices and a broad base for stability. When the instrument tray is mounted on the wheel in the operating room, it can be placed on the patient or on the surgical site, without resting on the patient.
This makes it more efficient for the surgeon to have access to surgical instruments as well as a portable adjustable tray assistant. There are two basic formats for providing sterile fields for sterile devices. The most common method is to attach the instrument tray to a sterile Mayo stand cover and use another autoclavable reusable instrument pad with small grooves to hold the instruments in place.
Material through which Plastic Surgical Instruments are made:
Plastic Surgical Instruments are made in an extensive range of metals and materials which give us best results during surgeries.
Stainless Steel:
A surgical instrument is made of stainless steel due to its strength and corrosion resistance, because it is easy to clean, which makes it ideal for environments where hygiene and health is a priority.
A stainless steel contains 13% chromium and the remaining part consists of other chemical elements, such as nickel and molybdenum, which give each tool its unique properties.
Ceramic:
Some surgical instrument manufacturers also offer stainless steel ceilings that are ceramic coated to provide a longer working life.
This is because the ceramic coating provides four to five times the surface hardness of stainless steel and at the same time provides greater resistance to rust and corrosion.
Tungsten carbide:
Tungsten Carbon is the hardest material that is used in surgical instruments. It offers a strong grip and it works with a long listing
Peek:
It is radiolucent (transparent to X-rays), 3D-navigable and does not produce any visual effects, it can have obvious advantages when used for specific devices, such as retractors and valves that support the spinal cord. Made for cervical access to.
Nitinol:
Instruments made from Nitinol are very useful when you need shape memory, high flexibility, high biocompatibility and MRI compatibility.
