The present disclosure relates to an illumination device that illuminates a body cavity in a surgical field during a surgical procedure. An illumination device includes a flexible elongated member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, and an illumination module including a set of illumination elements disposed at the distal end portion of the flexible elongated member and emitting light. A control module with a set of user input elements disposed at a proximal end of the flexible elongate member and controlling a set of lighting elements of the lighting module, wherein the lighting module includes light from the set of lighting elements. Can be moved together with the flexible elongate member to an illuminating position in the surgical field so that the elongate member is placed in a fixed structure. The illumination module can be configured to maintain an illumination position in the operative field.本開示は、外科的処置中に術野にある体腔を照らす照明装置に関する。 照明装置は、近位端部と遠位端部とを備える可撓性長尺部材と、可撓性長尺部材の遠位端部に配置され、発光する一式の照明素子を備える照明モジュールと、可撓性長尺部材の近位端部に配置され、照明モジュールの一式の照明素子を制御する一式のユーザ入力素子を備える制御モジュールとを備え、照明モジュールは、一式の照明素子からの光が照明のために体腔に発せられるように、可撓性長尺部材と共に術野における照明位置に移動することができ、可撓性長尺部材は、制御モジュールが固定構造に配置される際、照明モジュールを術野における照明位置に維持するように構成できる。
