Magnetic positioning system for trocarless laparoscopic instruments |
摘要 |
The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for performing surgery, and in particular to devices employing magnetic fields to position and orient medical instruments inside a human body. To provide for greater flexibility of endoscopic viewing and instrument usage and to reduce morbidity, the inventors have developed of a novel laparoscopic system that allows for intra-abdominal movement of an endoscopic camera and surgical instruments without additional port sites. A set of one or more magnets located external to the patient's body are used to position, orient, and/or secure instruments located internal to the patient's body.
