Expert consensus on the application of the magnetic anchoring and traction technique in thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery

Introduction The mutual interference between surgical instruments in tho-racoscopic and laparoscopic surgery and the effective exposure of the surgical field are important factors affecting surgical op-erability[1].Magnetic anchoring and traction is one of the core techniques of magnetic surgery,which uses magnetic materials to generate force through indirect contact to achieve traction expo-sure of the target organs[2](Fig.1).
