ABDOMINAL WALL LIFTING DEVICE FOR LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY.

摘要

During Laparoscopic surgery, it is necessary to enter into abdominal cavity using a trocar or Veress needle. Until now there is no device to lift the anterior abdominal wall and is done manually. This method is prone for injuring internal organs and the blood vessels. This device facilitates lifting of the anterior abdominal wall for safe introduction of the trocar or Veress needle. The device is applied on the anterior abdominal. Then negative pressure is created in the cuff by connecting cannula to a suction apparatus. Once the anterior abdominal wall sucked into the device, it is pulled upwards (anteriorly) so as to increase the distance between entry instrument and the vital organs. This aids in reducing the chances of injury to the internal organs.
