Abstract
To arrange surgical end effectors used in minimally invasive surgery, the disclosure provides an instrument holder which can be arranged inside the body of the patient. An instrument holder of this kind has a base part having multiple receptacles. The volume of the base part can be varied for the purpose of inserting the base part into the human body, and removing it therefrom, by way of a trocar. A method is also provided for arranging an instrument holder for surgical end effectors used in minimally invasive surgery inside the patient body.
