Abstract: An enhanced trocar for laparoscopic surgery has a proximal end, a distal end, and a tubular trocar body connecting and extending between the ends. The trocar body is shaped and sized to receive inline and retain therein tissue isolated and divided during a laparoscopic surgical procedure, to permit a surgeon to remove such tissue from the surgical site and dispose of the removed tissue without an additional dedicated disposal device.
