Abstract:
A surgical device controls the temperature of an organ such as a kidney during minimally invasive surgery. The device includes a number of chambers fed by a fluid port. At least one of the chambers includes one or more baffles so that a cooling fluid entering through the fluid port is selectively distributed in a desired manner about an enclosed organ. The device may be fabricated of materials that can be rolled, folded, or otherwise compressed into a form suitable for delivery to a minimally-invasive surgical site.
