This study introduces a novel abdominal wall-lift device for endoscopic surgery. The technique was successfully used in ten patients for various abdominal conditions.

Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Technology
Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

Endoscopic surgery requires effective methods for abdominal wall retraction.
Existing retraction techniques may have limitations in certain laparoscopic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel, simple, and readily available abdominal wall-lift technique for endoscopic surgery.
To present the design and application of a new suction lifter for laparoscopic surgery.

Main Methods:

Development of a custom suction lifter for abdominal wall elevation.
Application of the technique in a series of patients undergoing laparoscopic procedures.

Main Results:

Successful implementation of the abdominal wall-lift technique in ten patients.
