Abstract: A laparoscopic surgical method including: observing an interior of an abdominal cavity by using a laparoscope and selecting an optical clearing site to be subjected to optically clearing of fat tissue that covers target tissue; allowing an optical clearing agent to act on the selected optical clearing site; checking visibility of the target tissue through the optical clearing site on which the optical clearing agent has been allowed to act; and treating the target tissue while observing, by using the laparoscope, the target tissue the visibility of which has been checked.

Abstract: A medium changing device includes a lid disposed at a position where two or more regions in which a medium may be stored are covered therewith, the regions being disposed adjacent to each other and being open upward; one or more flow-path members each disposed so as to penetrate the lid, and each disposed at a position where one of the regions is bridged to another therewith when the lid is disposed at the position where the regions are covered; and a pump disposed on the other side of the lid and acting on the intermediate sections of the flow-path members, exposed on the other side, so as to cause the medium to flow from the opening at one end toward the opening at the other end of each of the flow-path members.

Abstract: A cell culturing device includes: a sensor that measures a pH of a medium in which cells are being cultured; and one or more processors including hardware. The one or more processors are configured to: measure an elapsed time since the cells were seeded in the medium; determine whether the measured pH is lower than a prescribed threshold and whether the measured elapsed time has passed a prescribed time; and issue an instruction for medium replacement in response to determining that the pH is lower than the prescribed threshold or in response to determining that the elapsed time has passed the prescribed time.

Abstract: A control device for an ablation treatment tool includes: a target-value storage unit that stores a target value for the total treatment area; an energy-source output unit that outputs, to the ablation treatment tool, an energy source for performing ablation treatment; an area calculation unit that calculates the total treatment area of the ileal mucosa on which the ablation treatment has been performed; and a control unit that controls termination of the ablation treatment performed by the ablation treatment tool. The control unit notifies an operator of the termination of the ablation treatment or stops the output of the energy source from the energy-source output unit when the calculated total treatment area of the ileal mucosa becomes equal to or greater than the target value.
