| Summary | The aim of the study is to compare the surgical tissue removal success of the endoscopic tissue cutting device, which was designed by the conductor and developed with the support of TUBITAK-1512 project and for which Turkish and European patent applications were made, with the conventional cold scalpel. Laparoscopic surgeries are performed through incisions ranging from 0.5 cm to 1 cm. After the operation, much larger masses need to be removed from the abdomen compared to these incisions. Currently, in laparoscopic surgery, masses are removed from the abdomen by cutting them into pieces with a scalpel, using electrical devices called power morcellators that are used to cut the tissue/mass with rotational movement and remove it from the abdomen, and directly removing the mass from the abdom |
