Abstract
The invention relates to a tool for parietally anchoring a living being's organ (70) comprising means (12, 16, 24) for anchoring said organ, means (36) for fastening at least one pulling element (37) to said anchoring means, wherein said pulling element is fixable to the abdominal wall of said living being in such a way that it makes it possible to lift and keep in suspended position the organ anchored by anchoring means (12, 16, 24) in order to display an anatomical structure during a surgical intervention, in particular in laparoscopy or coeloscopy. The inventive tool also comprises means (14, 22, 28, 38) for grasping and manipulating said anchoring means by a surgical clip. The size of the tool is selected in such a way that it is enabled to pass through a laparoscopic or coelioscopic trocar. A parietally anchoring device is also disclosed.
