FLS Exam Questions And Answers |Latest
2025 | Guaranteed Pass



What are the laparoscope diameters? - Answer✔2-10mm



Which degree scope is best for a field in line with port? - Answer✔0 degree



How to prevent fogging of scope? - Answer✔Use anti fog solution or put scope in hot water/hot
bath



What is the most commonly used light source? - Answer✔300 W Xenon lamp



What if there is initial low pressure and high flow rate at entry? - Answer✔Leak in insufflator
circuit, make sure everything plugged in correctly



Benefits of monopolar - Answer✔Tissue is heated quickly, less thermal damage/coagulation



Monopolar voltage/frequency - Answer✔Low voltage/High frequency



What does coagulation mode do? - Answer✔Repid surface heating with shallow depth of
necrosis, intermittent wave form with higher voltage



Risk of monopolar - Answer✔Current can be diverted through unintentional pathways, leading
to inadvertent tissue injury. Don't use hybrid ports that mix metal with plastic

Why do you need a grounding pad for monopolar? - Answer✔Capacitative coupling - transfer of
energy between two conductors separated by an insulator, transfer to passive electrode. Can
release with tissue injury, but no issue if ground plate is working as capacitor can't store the
charge



Benefits of bipolar - Answer✔lower energy, producing less lateral tissue damage and necrosis.
Don't need a grounding pad



Risk of bipolar - Answer✔Risk of cutting patient vessels before adequate sealing, and device
doesn't work if there is metal between the jaws



Risk of ultrasonic dissection (harmonic) - Answer✔Active blade can injure something due to
high frequency (50mHz)



Discontinue aspirin day of surgery? - Answer✔No



How to enter in patient with bowel obstruction? - Answer✔Direct visualization



Cut vs Coag - Answer✔cut - heat tissue quickly to convert cell water to steam, lysing the cell
Coag - heat more widely dispersed, less cutting action



smaller tissue area, greater current density and faster heating - Answer✔e.g. Bovie tip



Cut mode - Answer✔- Low voltage
- High frequency
- Continuous waveform
- Heats tissue quickly; cell water converts to steam and causes cell to explode

Coagulation mode - Answer✔- High voltage
- Low frequency
- Intermittent waveform
- Rapid tissue heating, shallow depth of necrosis
- Non-contact: relies on sparking to tissue



Capacitive coupling - Answer✔Transfer current from active electrode through insulation to
passive electrode- electrode to plastic part another LSC instrument
- if constant contact w/ tissue will not store energy and no injury



Direct coupling - Answer✔monopolar instrument in direct contact w/ metal portion of another
instrument



Besides capacitative coupling and direct coupling, other hazards of electrocautery - Answer✔-
Current diversion
- Narrow return circuit



Bipolar - Answer✔- forceps w/ two twins (one active other return)
- no pt return electrode required)
- no capacitative coupling
- works in "wet" operative field
- less thermal spread compared to monopolar



bipolar seals vessels up to _____ mm in diameter - Answer✔7 mm



ultrasonic coagulation shears seals vessels up to ____ mm in diameter - Answer✔5 mm



ultrasonic coagulation shears - Answer✔- combo compression and friction
