ABSTRACT:
In a method for use in peritoneal or pelvic surgery on a female patient, a trocar sleeve is positioned in the vagina of the patient so that the sleeve traverses a portion of a vaginal wall located behind the cervix of the patient and so that distal end portion of the sleeve penetrates to the pouch of Douglas. The membrane is then inserted in a closed configuration through the sleeve and the pouch of Douglas into a peritoneal cavity of the patient and is spread from the closed configuration to an opened configuration upon emergence into the pertioneal cavity. Subsequently, the opened membrane and an internal organ of the patient are positioned relative to one another so that the organ is disposed essentially vertically above the opened membrane. Upon the proper positioning, the organ is operated on while it is disposed above the opened membrane, whereby tissue particles and fluid escaping the organ during the operation fall into the opened membrane.
