Abstract
To reliably fix a medical instrument to a body wall by easy operation without causing increased costs and complicated configuration. For inserting a trocar as a medical instrument which can be pierced into a body cavity, a front end of the trocar is inserted into a body wall along a first direction having a specified angle with respect to an exterior surface of the body wall, and then the front end of the trocar is inserted into the body wall along a second direction whose angle with the exterior surface of the body wall is acuter than that of the first direction. As a result, the trocar is reliably fixed with large resistance received from the body wall.
