Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0110289A2] A device adapted to receive a surgical camera useable in a patient and having means to detect rotational and/or longitudinal movement of a camera relative to a reference point in, on or about the patient is described. The reference point is preferably a surgical port means, and the device is preferably adapted to conjoin with the port means. By detecting and/or measuring any rotational and/or longitudinal measurement of the camera relative to a reference point, the surgeon can be made aware of desired or undesired movement of the camera during surgery as referenced to the reference point. Such information would be particularly useful in laparoscopic or endoscopic surgery.
