SINGLE PORT INSTRUMENT DELIVERY EXTENDED REACH OR 'SPIDER' is a surgical system that introduces a new concept to minimally invasive surgery or SILS ( SINGLE INCISION LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY) It works by providing multiple, tiny, flexible instrument channels through one small incision near the patients belly button. A unique feature of the SPIDER is the way it opens up like an umbrella once it is within the abdomen and once the procedure is completed how the system closes up and is removed through the same incision site. Most surgical devices of traditional laparoscopy use rigid or semi rigid instruments whereas the SPIDER system introduces flexible articulating arms with structural strength. It provides two flexible channels for right and left hand instruments with 360 degree range of motion, and two rigid channels for small cameras and other instruments hence it overcomes many of the challenges of single site surgery by eliminating the need for criss- crossing of instrments to achieve true surgical triangulation, minimizing tissue trauma and allowing surgery through a single 18 mm incision site. A robust retractor is included in the system that allows excellent exposure of cystic structures. So this is how it works. This device is inserted through a small incision in or near your belly button, once inside, the system expands in an umbrella like fashion and the surgeon can use a variety of instruments through the single port to perform the procedure. Once the procedure is complete, the surgeon collapses the system in preparation for removing, the tools and the system are removed through the original incision. Many bariatric ( weight loss) surgeries, cholecystectomies, cyst removals, urologic procedures are done effectively using this system. This system's single incision method allows for a shorter and less painful recovery time. The patient is usually left with little or no visible scarring.
