Abstract The mutual interference between surgical instruments in thoracoscopic 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). The magnetic anchoring and traction system comprises an internal and an external magnetic component. The external magnetic component is usually a per- manent magnet, and the internal magnetic component includes an internal magnet and a tissue clip. This system requires fewer trocars, reduces surgical trauma, and improves surgical operability [3]. At present, the magnetic anchoring and traction technique has been applied in many fields including general surgery [ 3–10 ], gynecology [10,11], urology [ 12–14], and thoracic surgery [15]. We formed the following consensus on the indications, contraindi- cations, surgical skills, notes, and complication management for the clinical application of the magnetic anchoring and traction technique.
