2110153 9221295 PCTABS00017 Inflatable retraction devices for use in laparoscopic surgery are inserted into the body in a collapsed state adjacent to an organ, and are inflated into an expanded state to retract the organ to provide access to treat a tissue. In a first variation, the inflatable retraction device retracts the organ by exerting a force against adjacent organs. In a second variation, the inflatable retraction device retracts the organ by providing a retraction force from outside the body. An inflatable retraction device that provides the retraction force from outside the body can be made using a Foley catheter.
