Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Invasive surgical procedures are essential for addressing var ious medical conditions. When possible,minimally invasive procedures such as la paroscopy are preferred.“However, known minimally invasive technologies such as laparoscopy are limited in scope and complexitydue in part to 1) mobility restrictions resulting from u sing rigid tools inserted through access ports,and 2) limited visual feedback. Further, the technologies are also limited due to difficulties relating tomaint aining access to the surgical cavity while also maintaining insufflations of the cavity.
