The 5-mm camera is currently widely utilized in Laparoscopic surgery. A disturbing problem for the laparoscopic surgeon is when this Port is becoming smudged by fat or blood, affecting the cleanliness of the 5-mm camera lens after insertion. Due to its narrow, long tube, cleaning this port is tricky. In this paper, we advocate a simple, cheap, and effective method for preventing the staining of the port, using a sterile culture swab stick.
Once the first port is inserted, it will be cleaned with a sterile culture swab with a repeated in-and-out movement inside the port to clean it circumferentially until there is no further smudging of the swab. The camera is then introduced into the abdominal cavity. Each time either fat or blood stain the port, the culture swab stick is then utilized to wipe it.
In our experience, the use of the culture swab stick beforehand to clean the 5-mm camera port prior to insertion renders the use of any other cleaning method unnecessary.
Using the microbiology sterile culture swab stick to clean the 5-mm camera port is a simple, cheap method to clean the port from any debris.
5毫米摄像头目前在腹腔镜手术中被广泛使用。对于腹腔镜外科医生来说，一个令人困扰的问题是该端口在插入后会被脂肪或血液弄脏，影响5毫米摄像头镜头的清洁度。由于其管道狭窄且长，清洁这个端口很棘手。在本文中，我们提倡一种使用无菌培养棉签棒来防止端口被污染的简单、廉价且有效的方法。
第一个端口插入后，用无菌培养棉签在端口内反复进出擦拭，沿圆周方向清洁，直到棉签不再有污渍。然后将摄像头插入腹腔。每当端口被脂肪或血液弄脏时，就用培养棉签棒擦拭。
根据我们的经验，在插入前预先使用培养棉签棒清洁5毫米摄像头端口，就无需使用任何其他清洁方法。
使用微生物学无菌培养棉签棒清洁5毫米摄像头端口是一种从端口清除任何碎屑的简单、廉价的方法。
