A device which can be used in a laparoscopic surgical procedure is disclosed. The device is to be used in the surgical procedure as a retractor i.e. to displace and hold internal organs of a patient away from the organ which is the surgical objective. The device, which is essentially a long thin narrow tube, is partially inserted into the abdomen of a patient through a tiny incision in the abdomen wall. Retractor action is accomplished by the movement of levers, slides or buttons located on the end of the tube that remains outside of the patient. These levers, slides or buttons control the opening or closing of components, such as finger-like protuberances, that depend from the end of the tube that is within the patient. These protuberances push and hold floppy organs away from the surgical objective so that the surgical team can clearly view the organ using the laparoscope and remove the organ with tiny laparoscopic instruments. In this manner radical incisions, recovery time, and scarring are greatly reduced.
