Micro laparoscopy devices and deployments thereof

Abstract

An apparatus for reversely deactivating a port seal in a laparoscopic port and providing a continuous passage between the laparoscopic port and a remote location in a body cavity.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 inserting a shaft into a body cavity of a body;   expanding a capturing member inside of the body cavity;   capturing a distal end of the shaft with the capturing member;   passing the shaft through a trocar and outside of the body cavity; and   attaching a surgical tool to the distal end of the shaft.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 inserting a guiding cannula through the trocar into the body cavity; and   passing the shaft through the guiding cannula.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the surgical tool includes at least one of a grasping member, a dissecting member, a holding member, a clipping member, a cutting member, an imaging member, and a camera member. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the distal end of the shaft comprises a sharp distal tip. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising creating an incision in the body, wherein the shaft is inserted through the incision into the body cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 inserting a camera head into the body cavity; and   visualizing, with the camera head, the attaching of the surgical tool to the distal end of the shaft.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the capturing member comprises at least one of a loop, a snare, a grasper, a funnel, and a magnet.
