There is provided a method of cardiac surgery, comprising: using a device which comprises a treatment unit to be inserted into a thoracic cavity for performing treatment of a heart; inserting a distal end of this device between the heart and a pericardium; thereafter piercing through the pericardium with the distal end of the device; and performing treatment of the heart from the outside of the pericardium by using the treatment unit.
