A position of the fluid in the body and/or the amount of fluid in the body are detected and at least one catheter is positioned such that at least a part of the fluid can be drained from the body. A method for simulating drainage of a fluid from an interstice of a body includes performing a body-specific detection of anatomical structure and/or tissue structure.
