This invention relates to an implant device which is designed and adapted use in laparoscopic surgery. This implant device is especially adapted for electrostimulation and/or electrical monitoring of endo-abdominal tissue or viscera. The implant device has an elongated body having on, or near, its distal end a flexible attachment member which can be folded back on to the elongated body and attached to the elongated body thereby forming a closed loop around the tissue of interest. By “looping” around or through the tissue of interest, the attachment member and the elongated body are securely attached to the tissue and will resisted displacement even in cases where the tissue is subject to vigorous, periodic peristaltic movement within the body (e. g. , digestive organs). One preferred implant device of this invention has an elongated body equipped with two or more electric poles that are electrically connected to an electric connection terminal for connection to a power source, mechanism to penetrate the tissue or viscera to be treated, quick-release connecting devices to separate the penetration device from the elongated body, and a locking or attachment device which is capable of folding back and attaching to the elongated body whereby the locking device and the elongated body forms a secure and essentially continuous loop around the tissue or viscera to be treated.

A method for placement of electrostimulation leads in the mediastinum is provided. More particularly, this invention relates to placement of electrostimulation leads in the mediastinum using minimally invasive surgical techniques. Leads so placed may be used to stimulate specific mediastinal organs including, for example, the esophagus, neural structures such as the vagus and phrenic nerves, and cardiovascular organs such as the heart and other vessels in order to provide therapeutic, physiological, and/or patho-physiological effects on the mediastinal organs and/or target organs to which such mediastinal organs or structures are attached

The present invention relates to subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) as the etiological agent of IBD, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, as well as Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer's Disease. As such, methods for monitoring efficacy of a anti-MAP therapy and determining whether a blood sample is suitable for transfusion are provided based upon presence, absence or amount of MAP nucleic acid.

A process for treating obesity and/or related motor disorders by providing electrostimulation to one or more anatomical sphincters along the length of the gastrointestinal tract is provided. The present process provides improved control of obesity and other syndromes related to motor disorders of the stomach and/or gastrointestinal tract. Preferably, the present method is used in combination with electrostimulation of the stomach (preferably along the lesser curvature), and even more preferably in combination with electrostimulation of the lower or distal end of the lesser curvature (i.e., towards the pylorus) of the stomach. The process comprises artificially altering, using sequential electrical pulses for preset periods of time, the natural gastric motility of the patient to slow food transit through the digestive system.

A surgical instrument holder, adapted to be received and retained by an operating room table clamping apparatus is disclosed. The inventive holder is particularly suited for adjustably mounting and stabilizing a laparoscope, endoscope or similar instrument which has an elongated shaft. The holder comprises a clamping assembly mounted at one end of the holder for holding the shaft of the instrument. The clamping assembly includes a pair of movable jaws adapted for being closed about the shaft of the instrument. Means carried by another end of the holder for cooperating with the operating room table clamping apparatus are provided.

A retractor is provided for use in performing a surgical procedure such as correcting the morbid obesity of a patient. The retractor incorporates a blade section and a handle section protruding from a first peripheral segment of the blade section. The blade section includes a first portion connected to the handle section and an elongate second portion extending angularly from the first portion. The second portion is provided with an elongate open end slot extending from a distal end of the second portion and terminating in the vicinity of a juncture between the first and second portions. The slot forms the blade section second portion into a pair of finger-elements. Each element has a first surface which is adapted to engage a perimetrical segment of an incision made in the patient during the surgical procedure.
