ABSTRACT:
A laparoscopic direct vision dissecting port for providing safe entry into a body cavity, as well as being operative to serve as a standard laparoscopic port for use in laparoscopic surgery. The device comprises an elongate laparoscopic port within which a laparoscope may be positioned. The distal-most end of the tip is transparent in nature and operatively transitional between a closed configuration and an open, operative configuration, the latter of which causing tissue to be selectively dissected in a layer-by-layer fashion while under the direct vision of the laparoscope disposed therein. The port may further optionally assume an anchor configuration once positioned within the patient to enable the same to remain securely in position during the laparoscopic surgical procedure.
