This invention describes novel methods and devices for stabilizing and retracting tissue during surgery, in particular internal tissue. Patches of material, preferably biodegradable, are adhered to tissue surfaces. By manipulation of the patches, for example directly with forceps, or via sutures attached to the patches, tissues can be retracted or otherwise manipulated with minimal trauma to the tissues. The method is especially useful in minimally-invasive surgery.
L'invention concerne de nouveaux procédés et dispositifs servant à stabiliser et à écarter des tissus pendant une intervention chirurgicale, en particulier, les tissus internes. On colle aux surface du tissu des pièces de matériau, de préférence, biodégradable. La manipulation de ces pièces, par exemple, directement avec des forceps, ou par l'intermédiaire de sutures, permet d'écarter les tissus, ou sinon de les manipuler, en leur imposant un traumatisme limité au minimum. Ce procédé est particulière utile en chirurgie présentant un caractère invasif extrêmement limité.
