ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for separating a first layer of tissue from a second layer of tissue. A supporting part extends into the interior of the balloon during inflation to provide support for the balloon. The supporting part is retracted to a position outside the interior of the balloon after inflating the balloon. An endoscope is then inserted into the interior of the balloon. The endoscope is moved within the interior of the balloon to change the field of view of the endoscope.
