The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: "Managing vision and access during a laparoscopi c procedure is a challenge. The surgical assistant paradigm is inherently imperf ect, as the assistant is being asked to anticipate and see with the surgeon's ey es, without standing where the surgeon stands, and similarly to anticipate and a djust how the surgeon wants the tissue of interest exposed, throughout the proce dure. For example, during a laparoscopic procedure, one assistant may be require d to hold a retractor device to expose tissue for the surgeon, while another ass istant may be required to hold a laparoscope device to provide a field of view o f the surgical space within the patient to the surgeon during the procedure, eit her one of which may be required to hold the respective tools in an impractical position, e.g., from between the arms of the surgeon while the surgeon is active ly operating additional surgical instruments.
