Zusammenfassung:	Surgical apparatus for providing extra- corporeal pneumoperitoneum. One embod- iment provides a reversely-turned fluid and gas impermeable fingerless sleeve (14) with a quick connect and disconnect assembly around the cuff of the sleeve (14) for sealing around an abdominal incision to allow hand-assisted minimally invasive surgery under conditions of pneumoperitoneum. A dome-shaped enclosure (62) is provided for use with the quick con- nect and disconnect assembly to seal around an abdominal incision and maintain pneumoperi- toneum during interruptions in a surgical pro- cedure. Another embodiment incorporates a fingerless sleeve (14) which is adhesively se- cured directly to a patient's skin around an in- cision. The sleeve is applied over a pre-gloved surgeon's hand, and an outer surgical glove (18) is applied over the sleeve (14) in the re- gion where the fingers and thumb protrude be- fore the sleeve (14) is reversely turned on itself for connection to a patient.
