Consensus standardizes magnetic-anchoring use to enhance tissue retraction and field exposure in laparoscopic surgery.
Compared with traditional laparotomy,laparoscopy is restricted to the location and number of trocars,making it still faces many problems such as "chopstick effect", insufficient exposure of viscera and tissues,and limited surgical field. Magnetic-anchoring technology,as an innovative method specifically designed to assist tissue retraction and broaden surgical field in laparoscopy,has been applied in a variety of surgical procedures,including hepatobiliary surgery,thoracic surgery,gastrointestinal surgery,weight loss and metabolic surgery,gynecology,urology and other departments. Thus,it is of great significance to standardize the clinical application of magnetic-anchoring technology in assisting tissue retraction and broaden surgical field in laparoscopic surgery. This consensus was built according to evidence from published clinical researches and relative experiences,and was shaped based on key literature collection and discussion about practicing magnetic anchoring technology assisted laparoscopic tissue retraction and surgical field exposure. Further,this consensus was drafted by experts from related field,and was revised by 46 invited units and 68 invited professionals across China,from which the suggestions were collected and verified by the corresponding authors to officially establish this consensus.
