Researchers have developed the Endo-retractor, an innovative and cost-effective laparoscopic surgical instrument designed for gall bladder removal in laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures. Unlike existing devices, the Endo-retractor is reusable, affordable, and reduces surgical complications by enabling effortless organ anchoring and lifting. Applications include simplifying surgeries, reducing internal tissue damage, and improving patient outcomes while lowering costs. The device benefits both surgeons and patients by making surgeries less stressful and more efficient. This innovation addresses a significant gap in surgical tools for minimally invasive procedures.
