摘要:
There is provided an operating instrument insertion apparatus capable of easily inserting an operating instrument into the tissue. The operating instrument insertion apparatus includes a hollow tubular member 2 for receiving an operating instrument therein, and a plurality of scoop-like members 11 and 12 provided at a distal end of the hollow tubular member 2. The plurality of scoop-like members 11 and 12 can be opened in such a manner that distal ends of the scoop-like members are moved away from each other in a direction transverse to a direction of insertion of the scoop-like members into the tissue, and the plurality of scoop-like members 11 and 12 can be closed in such a manner that the distal ends of the scoop-like members are moved toward each other in this transverse direction.
