Explanation

A trocar is a medical instrument used during surgery or medical procedures. It's a sharp, pointed tool that doctors use to make a hole in the body, usually in the abdomen. This hole is then used as an entry point for other instruments or tubes. The trocar is often used in minimally invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopic procedures, to reduce the size of the incision and minimize patient recovery time.
