Abstract

Present example embodiments relate generally to a surgical system comprising an internal anchor assembly configurable to be inserted into and positioned inside a cavity of a body. The surgical system further comprises an external anchor assembly configurable to magnetically couple to the internal anchor assembly. The external anchor assembly may comprise a magnetic assembly. The magnetic assembly may include one or more superconducting magnets configurable to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic assembly may further include a conductive housing for receiving the one or more superconducting magnets. The external anchor assembly may further include a temperature control section configurable to control a temperature of the one or more superconducting magnets via the conductive housing. The external anchor assembly may further include an external anchor body configurable to receive the magnetic assembly and the temperature control section. The external anchor body may be fixably positionable outside of the body.
