SURGICAL ACCESS PORT STABILIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023988 titled 'SURGICAL ACCESS PORT STABILIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a surgical access port stabilization system and method that can be used during spinal surgeries. The system includes an access port that can be inserted into a patient's body to provide a channel to a surgical site, and an anchor that can be inserted into the patient's bone. The access port and anchor are coupled together in a non-coaxial manner. This system allows a surgeon to access the surgical site through the access port without the need for external stabilization, as the access port is positioned relative to the anchor already placed in the patient's body.

• The surgical system includes an access port and an anchor.
• The access port is designed for percutaneous insertion into a patient's body to create a channel to a surgical site.
• The anchor is inserted into the patient's bone.
• The access port and anchor are connected in a non-coaxial manner.
• The system allows the surgeon to access the surgical site without external stabilization of the access port.
• The access port is positioned relative to the anchor already placed in the patient's body.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Spinal surgeries: The system can be used during spinal surgeries to provide ipsilateral stabilization of the surgical access port.

Problems solved by this technology:

• External stabilization: The system eliminates the need for external or other stabilization of the access port, simplifying the surgical procedure.

Benefits of this technology:

• Simplified surgical procedure: The system allows the surgeon to access the surgical site through the access port without the need for external stabilization.
• Improved stability: The non-coaxial coupling of the access port and anchor provides stability to the access port during the surgical procedure.

Original Abstract Submitted

surgical access port stabilization systems and methods are described herein. such systems and methods can be employed to provide ipsilateral stabilization of a surgical access port, e.g., during spinal surgeries. in one embodiment, a surgical system can include an access port configured for percutaneous insertion into a patient to define a channel to a surgical site and an anchor configured for insertion into the patient's bone. further, the access port can be coupled to the anchor such that a longitudinal axis of the access port and a longitudinal axis of the anchor are non-coaxial. with such a system, a surgeon or other user can access a surgical site through the access port without the need for external or other stabilization of the access port, but can instead position the access port relative to an anchor already placed in the patient's body.
