5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the Endograb system which is an internal laparoscopic retractor device. This retractor device is inserted into the abdominal cavity through one of the 5 mm trocars and obviates the need for a separate dedicated trocar for retraction. Therefore enables the reduction of the number of abdominal incisions in a laparoscopic operation.
