An OB-GYN surgeon has informed the surgical team that the fallopian tubes will require ligation during a laparoscopic partial hysterectomy. Which instruments should the surgical technologist prepare?

In this scenario, ligating the fallopian tubes during a laparoscopic partial hysterectomy is a specific procedure that necessitates the use of certain surgical instruments designed for effective tissue handling and secure closure.

The Flishie is an instrument specifically designed for ligation of tubular structures, such as the fallopian tubes, making it suitable for this procedure as it allows for precise placement of ligatures. The Kleppinger clamp, known for its ability to facilitate hemostasis and secure tissue, is also useful in a laparoscopic setting when dealing with delicate structures like the fallopian tubes.

Using these instruments together provides the surgeon with the necessary tools to effectively ligate the tubes while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. The combination of the Flishie for ligation and the Kleppinger for tissue manipulation is optimal for the described surgical task.

Other options presented may include instruments suited for different aspects of surgery or those that do not directly facilitate the ligation process as efficiently as the selected instruments. Thus, the choice of the Flishie and Kleppinger reflects an understanding of the specific needs for tubal ligation in a laparoscopic approach.
