Abstract: A system for evulsing subcutaneous tissue includes an endoscope adapted to be inserted into subcutaneous tissue through a skin cut portion to observe tissue to be evulsed and existing under the skin, a dissecting unit adapted to be inserted into the subcutaneous tissue through the skin cut portion so as to dissect the tissue, to be evulsed, from surrounding tissue in order to form a adapted cavity along the tissue to be evulsed and below the skin, a cavity maintaining unit adapted to be inserted from the skin cut portion into the cavity formed by the dissecting unit and to be retained in the cavity in order to maintain, around the tissue to be evulsed, a treatment space which permits the endoscope to be inserted and removed and which enables treatment of the tissue to be evulsed, and at least one treatment tool adapted to be inserted into the treatment space maintained by the cavity maintaining unit in order to perform, in the treatment space, treatment required to evulse the tissue to be evulsed.

Abstract: A surgical operation apparatus of this invention includes an operation sheath having a cavity securing portion that is inserted into vital tissue through the skin to secure a working cavity for a surgical operation in the body, and a sheet member that allows an operation tool to be inserted from outside the body into the cavity. The operation sheath is guided into the vital tissue by guide tools such as a dilator, a soft tube, and a mandrin.
