なりの利点があると認められている。内視鏡による方法は、代わりに小さな少数
の体の貫通穴を用いる。それは、患者の不快を少なくし、入院の期間、費用及び
患者が何もできない期間を減らす。
腹腔鏡による現在の方法は、腹膜腔に膨張用具によっ−て二酸化炭素ガスを注入
すること及び膨張圧力を維持することを要求する。ガスは腹部を広げることによ
り腹膜腔を膨張させ、選択された手術部位に用具を動かすための空間を与える。

方法による供給によって補充する必要がある。さらに、腹腔鏡用又は他の種の手
術のための電気的手術用及び他の焼灼用具は、発生する熱のためにしばしば組織
にくっつく。冷却の1つの方法は、用具の水冷を伴う。
要求される用具の数及びそれらの繰り返される挿入及び除去は、処置に要する時
間とその費用を増大させる。より多くの処置をより低い費用で行うことを可能に
すること及び医者の疲労を減じることのため、処置に要する時間の短縮が強く要
望され本発明によれば、5字状−鉤を備えた腹部手術用器具又は同様の手術用器
