摘要

An auxiliary forceps for video-assisted minimally-invasive surgery, such as the hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery, intended to be operated by the surgeon's non-dominant hand inserted in an incision for entering a patient body natural cavity, comprising: two actuating plates (1a, 1b) elastically hinged to each other and having a shape and size suitable for being operated by holding them with the tips of two fingers: two jaws (2a, b; 20a, b) each extending from a respective of the actuating plates; means (14) for temporarily connecting the forceps to the surgeon's hand for maintaining the forceps at an adjustable distance from the hand not greater than a prefixed value; means (15, 22) for housing the jaws close to each other, within which the jaws are engaged when, during operation, said forceps is not used.
