Patent number: 9596980Abstract: An endoscopic surgery apparatus is provided, including a tubular member, a handle located on a proximal end of the tubular member, and one or more pivotable arms detachably connected to a distal end of the tubular member. The tubular member has channels along its longitudinal axis, wherein at least one of the channels is an optical channel and at least one other channel is an illumination channel. The arms have guiding channels adapted to receive surgical tools, which direct the surgical tools. The arms are interchangeable with other arms of different configurations. Also, said arms have an open and a closed position, such that when the arms are in the closed position an opening is defined allowing viewing of a surgical site via the optical channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Karl Storz Endovision, Inc.Inventors: Jacques Francois Bernard Marescaux, Jeffrey S.

Patent number: 9107572Abstract: A method of transluminal surgery is provided, which utilizes an endoscopic surgery apparatus having pivotable arms attached by hinges on its distal end. The arms are interchangeable with arms of various configurations. The method includes the steps of inserting an endoscopic surgery apparatus into a body cavity of a patient, making an incision in the body cavity wall to allow access to the patient's abdominal cavity, and further inserting the apparatus through the incision. Surgery is performed at the desired surgical site and the apparatus is withdrawn into the body cavity where the incision is closed. Finally, the apparatus is withdrawn from the patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: KARL STORZ ENDOVISION, INC.Inventors: Jacques Francois Bernard Marescaux, Jeffrey S. Melanson, Bernard Dallemagne, Joel Jules Louis Leroy, Didier Raoul Daniel Mutter, James P. Barry, Stefan Storz, Martin Leonhard
