Leak test method for medical procedure via natural orifice

Abstract

A leak test method for a medical procedure via a natural orifice includes: inflating the abdominal cavity by introducing a gas into the abdominal cavity via a conduit inserted from the abdominal cavity after closing an opening that communicates between the inside of a hollow organ and the inside of the abdominal cavity using an instrument inserted via the patient's natural orifice; monitoring no leakage between the hollow organ and the abdominal cavity of a fluid passing through the closed opening; and removing the conduit inserted into the abdominal cavity once no leakage of the fluid has been confirmed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
