Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: DRAA (Dual Robotic Arm Accessory); Levita has developed a Robotic Platform (DRAA) to assist in external management of the controlling magnet and the laparoscopic camera, which would give better control of surgical tools to the surgeon.	Device: Dual Robotic Arm Accessory (DRAA); Dual Robotic Arm Accessory (DRAA)
