摘要： A surgical device for expanding and viewing tissue is disclosed. The surgical device includes a handle, an insertion probe, and at least one window disposed within the insertion probe. The handle has a proximal end and a distal end, and the handle is sized and shaped to be held by a surgeon. The insertion probe has a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The proximal end of the insertion probe is removably attached to the distal end of the handle. The window extends along a length of the longitudinal axis, and has an opening that is sufficient in size to allow tissue to prolapse through the window and into the insertion probe.
