Abstract

Described here are methods, systems, and devices, useful for minimally invasive surgical procedures. The methods may include introducing a grasper through an opening into an abdominal cavity, grasping a portion of a left lobe of a liver with the grasper, rotating the grasper towards a control element located outside the abdominal cavity by applying a magnetic field to the grasper across a body wall, and moving the control element over a set of ribs such that the liver bends into a folded configuration.

Claims (25)

1 . A method for performing a surgical procedure, comprising:

introducing a grasper through an opening into an abdominal cavity;

grasping a portion of a first lobe of a liver with the grasper;

rotating the grasper towards a control element using a delivery device releasably coupled to the grasper, wherein the control element is located outside the abdominal cavity;

placing the control element adjacent to a body wall to apply a magnetic field to the grasper across the body wall; and

folding a first portion of the liver over a second portion of the liver by moving the control element over a set of ribs such that the first portion anteriorly overlaps the second portion as the control element is being moved.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first portion comprises the first lobe and the second portion comprises a second lobe.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing a space in the abdominal cavity vacated by the grasped portion of the liver.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing a stomach in the abdominal cavity vacated by the grasped portion of the liver.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising visualizing a stomach in the abdominal cavity vacated by the grasped portion of the liver using an optical sensor.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a gastric procedure while the liver forms the fold.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the gastric procedure comprises one or more of a gastric bypass, a sleeve gastrectomy, a gastric band procedure, a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and a gastric cancer resection.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein grasping the portion of the liver comprises grasping a peripheral edge of the liver.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein grasping the portion of the liver comprises grasping a left-lateral portion of segment II of the liver.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein grasping the portion of the first lobe comprises grasping an inferior portion of segment III of the liver.

11 . A method for performing a surgical procedure, comprising:

introducing a grasper through an opening into an abdominal cavity;

grasping a portion of a first lobe of a liver with the grasper;

rotating the grasper towards a control element using a delivery device releasably coupled to the grasper, wherein the control element is located outside the abdominal cavity;

placing the control element adjacent to a body wall to apply a magnetic field to the grasper across the body wall; and

moving the control element in a lateral direction with respect to a patient over a set of ribs such that the liver folds over itself as the control element is being moved.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein moving the magnetic control element over the set of ribs pulls grasped tissue away from the opening.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein moving the magnetic control element over the set of ribs moves the control element in a lateral direction with respect to the patient.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein moving the magnetic control element over the set of ribs moves the grasped portion of the liver anteriorly over a right lobe of the liver such that the liver forms the fold.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein moving the magnetic control element is performed in a left-superior direction over the set of ribs.
