An anatomic structure extractor allows a medical practitioner to retract, aspirate, ligate and amputate an anatomic structure within a patient through a minimally invasive incision. An anatomic structure extractor may include a transparent tubular member with a cap coupled to one end. The cap may have at least one view port with a magnifying lens. The cap may also have a needle port through which a needle is inserted to puncture the anatomic structure. A trap may be in fluid communication with the transparent tubular member. A suction post is in communication with the trap to pull the contents of an aspirated cyst into the trap. A light post containing a light source may be connected to the transparent tubular member to illuminate the interior of the extractor. A ligature deployer and a cutting wire may also be coupled to the tubular member.

There is provided a clamping device and method to resection an inwardly protruding portion present in a hollow organ of a patient, for example during bariatric surgeries, an appendectomy, a resection or excision surgery, etc. The clamping device includes a magnet assembly implantable into a lumen of the hollow organ of the patient. The magnet assembly has magnet elements arranged in two zones and is configured to be positioned around a base of the inwardly protruding portion. Opposing magnet elements are magnetically coupled together to compress opposite walls of the base therebetween until the walls are fused together, thereby partitioning the inwardly protruding portion from the remainder of the organ. The inwardly protruding portion can be pulled into the lumen of the hollow organ prior to the clamping device being positioned around the base. The inwardly protruding portion can be removed from the hollow organ to resection the organ.

A device for surgical interventions comprises (i) an inner end (1) guidable/steerable to an operation field, (ii) an outer end (3) operated by user and (iii) a middle part (2) which connects both ends (1, 3) together. Force transmission units extend between the outer end (3) and the inner end (1). The force transmission units, the outer and the inner ends and the middle part (2) transfer movements of the outer end (3) to the inner end (1) in an identical measure, as if the inner end (1) was a straight continuation of the outer end (3).

The present invention relates to a device developed for surgical interventions comprising (i) an inner end (1) guidable/steerable to the operation field, (ii) an outer end (3) operated by the user and (iii) a middle part (2) which connects both ends (1, 3) together. According to the main concept of the present invention, it further comprises force transmission units extending between the outer (3) and the inner (1) ends, and said force transmission units, the outer and the inner ends and the middle part (2) are designed to transfer the movements of the outer end (3) to the inner end (1) in an identical measure, as if the inner end (1) were the straight continuation of the outer end (3).

An appendectomy model for surgical training is provided. The model includes a simulated large intestine with a central lumen interconnected with a lumen of an artificial appendix. The model also includes a simulated appendiceal artery, simulated mesoappendix and a simulated ileum. The simulated ileum made of white silicone is embedded between a first layer of pink silicone and a second layer of pink silicone to create a realistic anatomical landmark particularly suitable for laparoscopic appendectomy training.

Apparatus and methods are provided for performing a medical procedure, such as a laparoscopic appendectomy or tubal ligation, using a stapler apparatus including a handle portion including a shaft include proximal and distal ends, an end effector attached to the distal end of the shaft of the handle carrying one or more staples, and an imaging sleeve carried on the shaft. For example, the end effector may include first and second jaws movable relative to one another between open and closed positions, the first jaw carrying a cartridge which includes the one or more staples. The end effector is introduced into a patient's body, tissue is positioned/locked between the jaws, and a plurality of staples are deployed into the tissue.

A device for accessing and removing a vermiform appendix without the need for surgical incisions may include a double-layered endotube fitted with electroceramic baffling; an endoscope extending through the endotube; instruments fitted within the endoscope and configured to interchangeably extend through at least one tool orifice in the distal end of the endoscope; an extension disk attached to a proximal end of the endotube; a controller operatively attached to the instruments through the extension disk, the controller configured to control and drive movement of the endotube, the endoscope, and the instruments; a casing attached to a distal end of the endotube; a pneumatic extensible cone housed within the casing, the pneumatic extensible cone configured to go from an undeployed position to a deployed position; and a cecoclosure device attached to the pneumatic extensible cone.
