Design follows challenge
The future does not choose the easiest path
The protection principle
The introduction of the laparoscopic
cholecystectomy in 1987 was greeted as
a surgical revolution. Now, endoscopic
techniques have also entered the previously
untouched field of vascular surgery. In
addition to endoluminal procedures,
interventions are today being performed
on the peripheral and central vascular
system using videoendoscopic surgical
techniques. The main procedures are
aortoiliac bypass operations in occlusive
arterial disease and aortic aneurysm
resections.
The concept of using a video-endoscopic
extraperitoneal surgical technique to treat
aortoiliac occlusive diseases helps to avoid
these problems. The minimal tissue traumatisation shortens the period of convalescence
and postoperative hospitalisation.
Conventional implantation of an aortofemoral or aortabiiliac graft can give rise
to massive operative trauma and typical
postoperative complications such as a high
level of pain, caused for example by
impairment of the intestinal motor response
as a result of the transperitoneal access
to the aorta and the iliac artery, as well as
pain-related restriction of respiration.
Advancing the frontiers of surgery
naturally requires new instrumentation
to attain the best possible results in
terms of surgical efficiency and patient
safety. Aesculap’s wide range of
indication-related instruments is the
perfect response to the demands of
modern endoscopic vascular surgery.
Endoscopic vascular surgery offers
many possibilities, principally that of the
aortobifemoral bypass with patchplasty
and direct suture on the iliac vessels,
including endoscopic implantation of a
bifurcation graft.

Design follows challenge
Demand does not create design
The basic concept in the laparoscopic
approach to the vascular system is to use
the conventional surgical technique to a
very great extent. This is the background
against which Aesculap has developed a
special range of basic endoscopic
instrumentation, consisting of specialised
hollow shaft instruments, special temporary
vascular clips and clip applicators, based
on its successful range of vascular surgical
instruments.
Initial attempts demonstrated the
problem of an action radius within the
abdomen that was too small to perform
a differentiated reconstruction technique.
Thus it was that optimally designed
instruments working in perfect harmony
with each other became the precondition
for advanced video-endoscopic vascular
surgery.
Set and match?
The Aesculap Major Vascular Set has
been specially developed as the basic
instrumentation for aortoiliac surgery
assisted by videoendoscopy. The surgeon
is provided with the instruments already
familiar from the conventional operating
technique, but modified to satisfy the
specific requirements of laparoscopy. They
are characterised by ergonomically improved
transmission of the wrist movements.
Among other items, the instrument set
includes aortic and iliac vascular clips,
adapted needle holders, special scissors,
removable vascular clips and vessel spatulas.
In addition, the set contains specialised
components for laparoscopic surgery, such
as locking handles for safe vascular occlusion,
low-volume vascular suction and special
laparoscopic needle holders to make vascular
sutures much easier to perform.
The minimally invasive vascular instrument
set provides the ideal supplement to
Aesculap’s regular, advanced laparoscopy
instruments, and makes it possible to conduct
procedures such as totally laparoscopic aortic
aneurysm resection or laparoscopically
assisted endovascular stenting efficiently
as well as video-assisted minilaparotomy.
The end result is a modern set of
instruments that allows the laparoscopic
vascular surgeon to safely perform basic
and advanced vascular surgery procedures.

The Major Vascular Set,
practice-orientated instrument design:
The technology of manoeuvrability
6
Design follows challenge
Ideal conditions
One of the Major Vascular Set’s crucial
advantages is that the instrumentation can
be completely disassembled, totally satisfying
all hygiene requirements. The instruments
are easy to take apart, ensuring that individual
components can be quickly exchanged if
necessary. This lengthens the instruments’
useful life. Furthermore, the modular design
means that the surgeon can construct his
or her ideal instrument. If the standard
solution provided in the instrument
programme does not correspond to the
surgeon’s individual preferences, he or she
can put together a personal set of instruments
from the individual components.
All the instruments are designed with a shaft
length of at least 310 mm. This gives them
optimum manoeuvrability with a 1:1 ratio
between the intra- and extra-corporeal section
of the shaft. Thus the centre of gravity of the
instrument at its entry into the abdominal
wall lies roughly in the middle of the shaft, with
the degree of movement at the instrument
handle corresponding to the transfer of the
function to the instrument tip. Thanks to this
minimum length, the instrument tips can meet
at an angle of 40 –180° in an abdominal
cavity expanded with CO2 from nearly any entry
point. The position of the optic trocar in
relation to the other working trocars forms an
isoceles triangle, with the two equal sides at
least 10 cm long. This provides maximum
freedom of movement during preparation and
suturing.

Further developments in instrument design
Competencies brought to the point
Together with one of the initiators of
endoscopic vascular surgery in Germany,
Prof. Dr. Samir Said in Koblenz, Aesculap
has developed a complete range of
instrumentation for this new operating
technique.
Four years were spent in intensive development, including animal trials, from the
original idea in 1992 to the first surgical
intervention on a human patient using the
instruments created during this development period. The result is a set of basic
instrumentation to meet the requirements
of video-endoscopically orientated vascular
surgeons in their daily practice.
Right from the beginning, highly
specialised instrumentation is primarily
responsible for the success and future
development of this operating technique.
Developed in co-operation with:
Prof. Samir Said, M.D.
Ev. Stift St. Martin
Abt. für Viszeral- und Gefäßchirurgie
Johannes-Müller-Str. 7
56068 Koblenz
8
Endoscopic angled scissors
Endo vascular scissors with angled (45°) blades have
been created in particular to achieve good laparascopic
access to the retroperitoneal vessels which run nearly
parallel to the abdominal wall, while avoiding damage
to the rear wall. The angled vascular scissors are used
for arteriotomy after the incision has already been
made with the retractable scalpel and blade holder
described. These vascular scissors are similar to the
conventional Potts-de-Martell angled vascular scissors.
Needle holder
The laparascopic needle holder has undergone a
complex development process. Its main characteristic
is the swan’s neck curvature which makes it easier to
hold the first knot. Whereas the needle holding
surface of the lower jaw is concave, the upper needle
holding surface has been designed with transverse
serrations. This ensures that the needle aligns itself at
90° to the instrument jaw.
Endo suture grasping forceps
A special endo suture grasping forceps has been
developed to reduce micro-traumatisation of the
suture and the vessels. The forceps is used as a
combination instrument during vessel suture, on the
one hand to grasp the thread and tissue, on the other
hand to receive the needle.
Satinsky Clamp
The Satinsky clamp, with its conventional, double
angled jaw presupposes the use of flexible trocars.
The angles of the jaw are designed on the one hand
to allow the instrument to be introduced into the
abdominal cavity through a 12 mm trocar, and on the
other hand to permit both the aorta and the iliac
vessels to be clamped off tangentially over the longest
possible area.
The clamp’s shape guarantees good vision into the
vessel lumen, permitting a precise suturing technique
Endo clip forceps and temporary
vascular clips
The development of an endo clip applicator, an endo
with the appropriate stitching direction, despite the
fact that the side walls are pressed closely against
each other through the tangential clamping of the
vessel.
clip remover and temporary vascular clips has introduced a fundamentally new method of working in
laparoscopic vascular surgery. Thus, once the selfholding vascular clips have been applied, a trocar can
be freed to receive other instruments which serve an
active function, such as preparation, suturing or
temporary tissue fixation.
9
Special instrumentation
The elevated art of the peripheral
A very important contribution to the
development of special endoscopic clips
was made by the French surgeon
Prof. Dr. Yves S. Alimi. Since 1999, he and
Aesculap have been cooperating in the
development of additional instruments for
videoendoscopic vascular surgery.
Developed in co-opertation with:
Prof. Yves S. Alimi, M. D.
10
Vascular clamps
Additional and auxiliary instruments
have an important part to play alongside
specialised basic instrumentation in
minimally invasive vascular surgery.
For example, one particular problem in
videoendoscopic vascular surgery was
caused at first by using conventional
vascular clamps which were too weak
to close the aorta. The jointly designed
clamps can be used for both transperitoneal
and retroperitoneal access to the aorta.
Reconstruction made easier
Another very important precondition for
a sound vascular surgery technique is
adequate exposure of the operating site to
allow fast and accurate reconstruction.
Various retractors and hooks which can be
angled inside the body are available for this
purpose.
Vessel spatulas have been designed for the
mobilisation of endoluminal structures.
These are once again on a par with the
conventional models.

Uni-Graft® K DV shows uncompromised healing.
A polyester double velour warp-knit
construction ensures good graft
incorporation in the surrounding tissue
at the site of implantation. The unique
Uni-Graft® gelatin impregnation makes
the prostheses absolutely impermeable
to blood. The gelatin used for the
impregnation is a less thrombogenic
material. It is cross-linked in a patented
procedure without the use of
formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde
resulting in a non-cytotoxic and biocompatible implant.
The porous knit permits ingrowth of cells and ensures integration
with the surrounding tissue. The inner velour provides the basis for
a firm adhesion of the developing neointima. In the initial phase
after implantation a fine fibrin layer covers the inner surface of the
prostheses. This natural fibrin film provides the initial interface
between the blood and the prosthetic wall. It also is the basis for
the formation of a stable inner capsule which in clinical conditions
in most cases is the final blood contact surface.
With Uni-Graft® K D the gelatin will be infiltrated already two weeks
after implantation by myofibroblasts. No white blood cells are present,
proving that the gelatin is absorbed without any immunological
response or hypersensitivity.

Aesculap competence
The knowledge advantage – conquer the
future with competence
Complications having far reaching consequences can only be
avoided by using an endoscope and sophisticated instrumentation
to make surgery to the aortoiliac vessels as non-traumatic as
possible if the surgeon and the operating team performing the
endoscopic procedure have truly mastered this new technique.
Both theoretical and practical training in the videoendoscopic
treatment of aortoiliac vessels, which is still in an experimental
phase, is therefore absolutely essential.
In modern and architecturally
interesting surroundings, you
can absorb yourself in current
topics, learning or perfecting
the latest operating techniques,
for instance in laparoscopy, gynaecology, endoscopic
vascular surgery or neuroendoscopy.
Our programme of courses
is directed both to beginners
in the various techniques and
to the experienced surgeon
who wishes to become familiar
with more advanced endoscopic methods.
The AESCULAPIUM, the
new forum for communication
in medicine, offers all technical
possibilities for workshop
demonstrations of new
operating techniques and
highlights in medical technology as they are used in
practice, and for transmitting
operations by satellite into
the AESCULAPIUM auditorium.
46
Video conferences can be
staged at any time. Exchanges
of experience and interdisciplinary dialogue with
recognised international
leaders of opinion are regular
items in the AESCULAPIUM’s
calendar of events.
You can request the current
programme of events offered
by the AESCULAP AKADEMIE
GmbH by telephone
(++49(0)7461-95-2001)
or via the Internet under
www.aesculap-akademie.de.

Dry practice sessions: clamping off,
cutting, suturing - the endoscopic
method demands from the surgeon a
totally different handling technique.

All it takes to operate.
