From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventors Burbank, William (Sandy Hook, CT, US); Durant, Kevin (Alameda, CA, US); Flanagan, Patrick (Santa Clara, CA, US); Weir, David W. (Emerald Hills, CA, US), filed on October 17, 2023, was made available online on February 8, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Minimally invasive surgical techniques are aimed at reducing the amount of extraneous tissue that is damaged during diagnostic or surgical procedures, thereby reducing patient recovery time, discomfort, and deleterious side effects. As a consequence, the average length of a hospital stay for standard surgery may be shortened significantly using minimally invasive surgical techniques. Also, patient recovery times, patient discomfort, surgical side effects, and time away from work may also be reduced with minimally invasive surgery. "A common form of minimally invasive surgery is endoscopy, and a common form of endoscopy is laparoscopy, which is minimally invasive inspection and surgery inside the abdominal cavity. In standard laparoscopic surgery, a patient's abdomen is insufflated with gas, and cannula sleeves are passed through small (approximately one-half inch or less) incisions to provide entry ports for laparoscopic instruments.
