Abstrakt: The ELSA (endoscopic liquidiser and surgical aspirator) is based on the simple design of a kitchen blender. Its development and clinical use for transurethral, laparoscopic and open tissue removal is desribed. It is a simple, effective, and safe instrument, which has also been mounted on a robot and programmed to carry out a robotic prostatectomy in the laboratory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
