A retraction instrument includes a tube, an actuator and a first coil. The tube defines a passage therethrough. The actuator has a handle that has a shaft extending distally therefrom through the passage of the tube. The first coil is disposed adjacent a distal end of the shaft. The first coil is configured to secure the shaft to tissue. A method of retracting tissue within a body cavity is also disclosed. The method includes inserting a retraction instrument into the body cavity of a patient, engaging tissue within the body cavity with a first coil of the retraction instrument to secure the retraction instrument to the tissue, and retracting the tissue with the retraction instrument.
