N2 - The light augmentation device (LAD®) is a new disposable tool designed to improve observation by transillumination in laparoscopic surgery. It can be introduced into the abdomen through an 11-12 mm port as a supplementary light source. The miniaturized design allows the surgeon to pick up the device with an endograsper and to place it under direct vision where needed. This proof-of-concept study demonstrated safety and efficacy of the device in the animal model.
