Abstract: The research mainly focuses on the three different types of laparoscopic instruments such as grasping, laparoscopic forceps, and suction irrigation devices with their design modifications and robot assistance activities. Some mechanical components such as links, sliders, gears, pivots, etc. are assisted in the working mechanism of the laparoscopic instruments. Despite of its potential demand, certain complexities are faced by surgeons due to its design characteristics. From the analysis, it is clear that several researchers are focused for optimise the design of forceps and handles in laparoscopic surgery. The process of suction and irrigation contributes well to laparoscopic surgery; however, the interest toward such a process is limited by the researchers. The existing researches of laparoscopic instrumental enhancement between the year 2011 and 2020 are symbolised in this work. This research promotes direction to several surgical device designers by adopting the additional innovative methodology for designing the novel laparoscopic instruments.

Keywords: robotic device; laparoscopic instruments; minimal invasive surgery; Grasper; suction and irrigation medical device; CFD perspectives.
