  • Publication number: 20240081942
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a proximal structure configured to be positioned extracorporeally relative to a patient and defining a primary axis, and a distal structure extending distally from the proximal structure and configured to be passed through a body wall and into a body cavity of the patient. The distal structure cooperates with the proximal structure to define a working channel sized and configured to receive and guide a surgical instrument distally therethrough. The distal structure includes a proximal portion and an angled distal portion. The angled distal portion defines a secondary axis that is angled relative to the primary axis. At least the angled distal portion of the distal structure is rotatable relative to proximal structure about the primary axis.
