Abstract
Provided is a surgical method using a surgical instrument including an end tool having one or more joints and a trocar. The surgical method includes coupling an obturator with a main body of the trocar, inserting the trocar into a body of a patient, separating the obturator from the main body, coupling an end tool mounting member with the main body, and inserting the surgical instrument into the body of the patient through the trocar. In a state in which the end tool of the surgical instrument is mounted on the end tool mounting member, the end tool is rotated in the direction by using a contact point between the end tool and the end tool mounting member as a pivot point, the end tool and a shaft of the surgical instrument are substantially parallel to each other, and the surgical instrument is inserted into the body of the patient.
