TREATMENT METHOD FOR HOLLOW ORGANS
A tissue treatment method combined with a bypass procedure of a hollow organ includes a first process of dividing the hollow organ into a first region of a distal side of the hollow organ and a second region of a proximal side of the hollow organ, a second process of forming a damaged part of a predetermined size on an outer surface of at least one of the first and second regions, and a third process of fixing the first and second regions such that the damaged part is kept in close contact with an outer surface of the other of the first and second regions.
1 . A tissue treatment method combined with a bypass procedure of a hollow organ, comprising:
a first process of dividing the hollow organ into a first region of a distal side of the hollow organ and a second region of a proximal side of the hollow organ;
a second process of forming a damaged part of a predetermined size on an outer surface of at least one of the first and second regions; and
a third process of fixing the first and second regions such that the damaged part is kept in close contact with an outer surface of the other of the first and second regions.
2 . The tissue treatment method according to claim 1 , wherein the damaged part is formed in the second process by exposing collagen to the damaged part.
3 . The tissue treatment method according to claim 1 , wherein the bypass procedure is a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
4 . The tissue treatment method according to claim 3 , wherein the first region is a pouch, and the second region is a remaining stomach.
5 . The tissue treatment method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fourth process of forming a through-hole communicating with the first and second regions with each other by incising an adhered part at which the damaged part and the outer surface of the other are adhered after the third process;
a fifth process of inserting an endoscope into the through-hole and performing a treatment; and
a sixth process of closing the through-hole after the fifth process is completed.
