Zusammenfassung:A method and system are disclosed for rapid placement of tubes within a body cavity that includes placing a compliant cannula (140) over a probe tip (130) of a cutting device until the probe tip extends beyond the cannula, incising the tissue covering body cavity to create an opening therein, inserting the probe tip of the cutting device until the cannula placed thereon extends into the incision, removing the probe tip while leaving the cannula inserted within the incision, introducing a distal end or tip of a tube (145) into the cannula a predetermined distance, and removing the cannula over the tube while retaining the tube in position within the body cavity.
