A tissue suspension device has an elongated spanning element with a first and a second end. A suspending element is attachable to the spanning element. A first supporting element is attached to the first end of the spanning element, and a second supporting element is attached to the second end of the spanning element. The tissue suspension device substantially spans the transverse width of the body cavity and suspends tissue within the body cavity. The first and second supporting elements are attachable to the body wall, which supports the weight of the suspended tissue.

What is claimed is: 1. A tissue suspension device for use within a body cavity, the device comprising: an elongated spanning element comprising a substantially rigid bar, the elongate spanning element having a length greater than a maximum width of the spanning element, the spanning element having an enlongate central portion, a first end extending from the central portion and inclined with respect to the central portion, and a second end extending from the central portion and inclined with respect to the central portion; at least one suspending element that is attachable to the central portion of the spanning element; and a first supporting element attached to the first end of the spanning element, and a second supporting element attached to the second end of the spanning element; wherein the tissue suspension device substantially spans the transverse width of the body cavity and suspends tissue within the body cavity, and wherein the first and second supporting elements are removably attachable to the body wall, which supports the weight of the suspended tissue. 2. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the spanning element includes a plurality of spaced-apart holes arranged for the attachment of the suspending elements. 3. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the first and second ends of the spanning element include an offset, such that when the tissue suspension device is attached to the body wall of the patient, there is a vertical clearance between the top of the body cavity and the spanning element. 4. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second ends includes a threaded portion that is removably attachable to a supporting element. 5. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second ends includes a threaded portion that is removably attachable to a cap having a filament attached thereto. 6. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the suspending element is formed from a metallic wire. 7. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the suspending element is covered with a hydrophilic material, a foam rubber, or a cotton material. 8. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the spanning element is coated with an anti-bacterial material. 9. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the spanning element is coated with a lubricious material. 10. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the supporting element comprises a flexible cord removably attachable to the body wall so that the vertical height of the spanning element within the body cavity is adjustable. 11. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the suspending element includes a tray for supporting and suspending tissue. 12. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the spanning element is formed from a rigid tube. 13. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the spanning element is curved. 14. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the supporting element is a medical adhesive tape, whereby first and second ends of the spanning element are secured to the skin of the patient with the tape. 15. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second ends of the spanning element are articulatable about a pivot. 16. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the spanning element is flexible. 17. The tissue suspension device of claim 16, wherein the supporting element adjustably tensions the spanning element. 18. The tissue suspension device of claim 1, wherein the spanning element is malleable. 19. A method for suspending tissue during a surgical procedure comprising: providing a tissue suspension device comprising: an elongated spanning element comprising a substantially rigid bar, the elongate spanning element having a length greater than a maximum width of the spanning element, the spanning element having an elongate central portion, a first end inclined with respect to the central portion and extending from the central portion and a second end inclined with respect to the central portion and extending from the central portion; at least one suspending element that is attachable to the central portion of the spanning element; and a first supporting element attached to the first end of the spanning element, and a second supporting element attached to the second end of the spanning element, first and second supporting elements being attachable to the body wall of the patient; wherein the tissue suspension device substantially spans the transverse width of the body cavity and lifts tissue within the body cavity, and wherein the first and second supporting elements are attachable to the body wall, which supports the weight of the tissue; introducing the spanning element into the body cavity; attaching the first and second ends of the spanning element to the body wall at opposing sides of the patient; attaching the suspending element to the spanning element; and suspending tissue from the suspending element. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the spanning element is formed from a rigid tube, and wherein the method further includes positioning a guide wire through the body wall and across the body cavity, and passing the spanning element over the guide wire. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein at least one of the first and second ends of the tissue suspension device includes a threaded portion that is attachable to a cap having a filament, and wherein the method further includes attaching the cap to one of the first and second ends, and pulling the filament to help position the tissue suspension device in the body wall of the patient.
