ABSTRACT:
In a method for closing a ressection in muscular tissues, distal ends of two surgical instruments are juxtaposed to a muscular organ on opposite sides thereof. The organ is compressed between the distal ends of the instruments by moving those distal ends towards one another. Subsequently, a tack is ejected from one instrument through the ressected region of the organ towards the other instrument so that an end of the tack projects beyond the organ. Then, a locking element is positioned on or attached to the projecting end of the tack. The entire operation can be performed laparoscopically, when the ressected organ is the uterus.
