  2. 12. the transmission of electricity directly from one conductive path to another
  3. 13. In robotic surgery, the nonsterile hand controls that manipulate surgical instruments.
  4. 15. A device used to secure suture knots during minimally invasive surgery
  5. 16. A surgical endoscope that has the capability of morcellation, or tissue fragmentation.
  6. 19. unintended transmission of electricity from the active electrode to an adjacent conductive pathway, sometimes resulting in a patient burn.

  11. 32. A device that controls and emits light for endoscopic procedures
  12. 33. An element within each silicone chip contained within a device that produces electronic images such as those seen on a surgical image system used in minimally invasive surgery.
  13. 36. A channel that extends the full length of a flexible endoscope and receives instruments during flexible endoscopy
  14. 37. In robotic surgery, the binocular lens system of the surgeon console
  15. 38. the cable that transmits digital data from the camera head to the camera control unit and from the image system to the output recorder
  16. 40. The unintended absorption of irrigation fluids into the body
  17. 41. slender tube inserted through the body wall that is used to receive and stabilize telescopic instruments
Down
  1. 1. The long, narrow portion of the flexible endoscope that is inserted into the body.
  2. 2. video format that has a 16 to 9 aspect ratio, which is 7 times greater than standard definition.
  3. 3. A device that stores and prints output data viewed through the video endoscope.
  4. 4. The fiberoptic light cable that transmits light from the source to the endoscopic instrument
  5. 5. The angle at which light is transmitted at the distal end of a fiberoptic or video endoscope
  6. 6. channel that extends the full length of a flexible endoscope and receives biopsy forceps or other instruments
  7. 7. The proximal section of a flexible endoscope where the controls are located.
  8. 8. An abdomen insufflated or distended with carbon dioxide gas during laparoscopy.
  9. 9. Endoscopic surgery of a joint
  10. 11. channel in the flexible endoscope used to deliver irrigation fluid at the tip.
  11. 14. The main control source for the video camera
  12. 17. inflation of the abdominal or thoracic cavity with carbon dioxide gas.
  13. 18. diagnostic procedure in which a long, flexible, fiberoptic tube is inserted into a body cavity for viewing and diagnosis
  14. 20. inside the body
  15. 22. A device that connects the endoscope to the camera
  16. 24. A type of robotic surgery in which surgery is performed from a nearby location through computermediated instruments
  17. 25. processes digital signals that are captured from the video camera and transmitted to an image system
  18. 26. A mechanical device that can be programmed to perform tasks
  19. 27. outside the body
  20. 29. In electronics, the intensity of the signal
  21. 31. A spring-loaded needle used to deliver carbon dioxide gas during insufflation.
  22. 34. channel that extends the full length of a flexible endoscope and is used to retrieve biopsy tissue.
  23. 35. A procedure for adjusting the light color of the video camera to other components of the system
  24. 39. In robotic surgery, the process of positioning the robotic instruments in the exact location over the patient so that instruments can be safely attached to their ports in the body cavity.
