ABSTRACT:
An inflatable envelope and a procedure for using it for the purpose of elongating tubular or linear tissue during the acute phase of a surgical procedure. The envelope has a path upon which the tissue is aligned, whose path length increases with inflation of the envelope. Successive inflations and deflations result in elongation of the tissue enabling re-connection of ends of the tissue which before were significantly spaced apart.
