ABSTRACT:
A device for insufflating a body cavity preparatory to and during an intracavity procedure is provided that includes a generally cylindrical body anchorable to skin surrounding an incision into the body cavity. An elevation member permits the lifting of the device, along with the attached skin, in a proximal direction, allowing mechanical insufflation. The bore is sealable in order to maintain insufflation during insertion of a surgical implement. The method includes the steps of inserting the device into the incision, anchoring the cylindrical body to the skin, elevating the cylindrical body in a proximal direction, thereby mechanically insufflating the body cavity, and sealing the bore to admit and closely surround the surgical implement for maintaining insufflation. Then a surgical implement can be inserted into the bore of the device and the surgical procedure performed.
