Background: Existing laparoscopic instrument holders do not seem to sufficiently fulfil the needs of surgeons performing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in several respects. Therefore, we developed and tested a novel laparoscopic instrument positioner in close cooperation between surgeons and engineers. Material and methods: Design requirements were established by attending laparoscopic interventions, interviews and involving surgeons … Continue reading A novel, intuitive instrument positioner for endoscopy, involving surgeons in design and feasibility
