Surgical apparatus for performing cardiac surgery on the coronary organs of a patient comprising contacting means capable of providing a mechanical load on at least a portion of said coronary organ, a positioning means which allows the setting of either or both, said contacting means and coronary organ in any position or orientation within surgical workspace W, a manipulation means serving as a single point control to position and orient said contacting means onto said coronary organ tissue, and an adjustment means serving to bias the range of at least one motion degree of freedom of the surgical apparatus within a restricted limit than is otherwise achievable when said bias is not present or overridden. This achieves the setting of the said contacting means in any position and orientation within the surgical workspace W, with or without the simultaneous manipulation, retraction, or stabilization of coronary organ tissue also within the W. Any of the motion degrees of freedom comprising the surgical apparatus are capable of being "biased". All motion degrees of freedom of the surgical apparatus are synergistically linked, whether biased or unbiased, through the manipulation means which the surgeon utilizes to set the contacting means or coronary organ tissue.
