Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Managing vision and access during a laparoscopic procedure is a challenge. The surgical assistant paradigmis inherently imperfect, as the assistant is being asked to anticipate and see with the surgeon’s eyes, withoutstanding where the surgeon stands, and similarly to anticipate and adjust how the surgeon wants the tissueof interest exposed, throughout the procedure. For example, during a laparoscopic procedure, one assistantmay be required to hold a retractor device to expose tissue for the surgeon, while another assistant maybe required to hold a laparoscope device to provide a field of view of the surgical space within the patientto the surgeon during the procedure, either one of which may be required to hold the respective tools inan impractical position, e.g., from between the arms of the surgeon while the surgeon is actively operatingadditional surgical instruments.
