Lighted surgical access system

A lighted surgical access system to illuminate internally a body cavity comprising:

• an outer ring arranged to be placed outside of a body cavity;
• an inner ring arranged to be placed inside of the body cavity;
• a sheath having a proximal end connected to the outer ring and a distal end connected the inner ring, the sheath delimiting an access channel extending from the outer ring to the inner ring through a central lumen of the sheath, and the sheath having an adjustable length being configured to wrap the outer ring around a proximal portion of the sheath;
• and
• a light emitter system comprising:
• a light skirt comprising:
• a hoop circumferentially disposed around and in contact with an outer periphery of the sheath and movable longitudinally along the sheath and not past the inner ring, the hoop being rotatable relative to the sheath;
• and
• at least one elongate light strand connected to and extending from the hoop and arranged to emit light away from the hoop and the inner ring, the at least one elongate light strand extending past the inner ring;
• and
• a net lighting extending across the access channel and attached to the inner ring, the net lighting being arranged in a grid pattern having spaces between light emitting diodes, the spaces sized to provide instrument or hand access there through.

• and
• an inflatable balloon attached to the sheath and wherein the light emitter system is attached to the balloon, the balloon being expandable away from the inner ring.
