Placement method and placement system
A placement method includes inserting an endoscope into a body, blocking a tubular tissue in the body with a distal end of the endoscope, pressurizing a detection target space between a placement member which is placed in the tubular tissue and blocks the tubular tissue and the distal end of the endoscope via a channel of the endoscope, and detecting a pressure state in the detection target space.
1. A placement method comprising:
inserting an endoscope into a uterine tube through a uterine cavity;
placing a placement member, which is placed in the uterine tube and blocks the uterine tube, in the uterine tube via a channel of the endoscope;
blocking the uterine tube at the position closer to the uterine cavity than the placement member with a distal end of the endoscope;
pressurizing a detection target space between the placement member and the distal end of the endoscope via the channel of the endoscope;
detecting a pressure state variation over time in the detection target space; and
judging whether the uterine tube is securely blocked by the placement member and whether the placement member is disposed at an appropriate placement position based on the pressure variations over time in the detection target space.
2. The placement method according to claim 1 , comprising:
the inserting;
the blocking;
placing the placement member in the tubular tissue via the channel of the endoscope;
the pressurizing; and
the detecting.
3. The placement method according to claim 1 , comprising:
previously placing the placement member in the tubular tissue via the channel of the endoscope;
the inserting;
the blocking;
the pressurizing; and
the detecting.
4. The placement method according to claim 1 , wherein
the blocking includes fitting the distal end of the endoscope into the uterine tube.
5. The placement method according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressurizing includes supplying a fluid into the detecting target space via the channel of the endoscope.
6. The placement method according to claim 1 , wherein
the detecting includes detecting a pressure value in the detecting target space.
7. The placement method according to claim 1 , wherein
the detecting includes connecting an inside of an elastic bag member disposed outside the endoscope with the detecting target space via the channel of the endoscope.
8. The placement method according to claim 1 , wherein
the endoscope includes a flexible scope.
