Newly designed retraction devices for intestine control during laparoscopic aortic surgery: a comparative study in an animal model.
2000
Background
Recent clinical studies have demonstrated the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for aortic occlusive and aneurysmal disease. However, transperitoneal aortic access is compromised by poor exposure in the operative field from uncontrolled bowel. The retractors that are currently available are inadequate for this task. The development of new retractors would help to facilitate laparoscopic aortic surgery.
