Explanation

A micro-laparoscopic trocar is a small, tube-like instrument used in a type of surgery called laparoscopy. This surgery involves making small incisions in the body to examine or operate on internal organs. The trocar is inserted into one of these incisions to allow the surgeon to insert other surgical tools or a camera. The "micro" part of the name refers to the small size of the trocar, which helps to minimize the size of the incision and reduce patient recovery time.
