MAGNETIC SURGICAL DEVICE TO MANIPULATE TISSUE IN LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERIES OR VIA NATURAL HOLES PERFORMED WITH A SINGLE TROCAR

摘要

The present invention is related to surgical instruments (50) incorporating the usage of magnets for application in minimally invasive surgery to perform abdominal surgery with a single incision through the navel which is the most widely used, this incision can also be done through some natural hole like the vagina, mouth, etc. The magnetic surgical device (50) comprises a clip (1), an array of magnets (3) and means (2) for interconnecting the two. The present invention also describes a surgical tool (13) to manipulate the magnetic surgical devices, a surgical apparatus (24) to position an external magnet. (60) during surgery, a surgical probe (29) comprising at least a magnet (30) at one of its ends, a surgical tool (34) to manipulate spherical magnets and washers, a cannula (39) with a system to fasten knots and to fit a catheter and a organ surgical retractor.
