An inserting device (10) is provided for inserting an elongated thin flexible surgical member (45), such as an electrode, and the like, into body tissues. The device (10) includes a pair of tubular portions (12, 14) with longitudinal slits (22, 30). The two tubular portions (12, 14) define a lumen for accepting the surgical member (45) after the device (10) is introduced into the tissues. Thereafter, the tubular portions (12, 14) are positioned so that the slits (22, 30) are aligned to provide an opening which allows the inserting device (10) to be withdrawn without interfering with the inserted surgical instrument (45). An enforcing element (16), such as an obturator, may be inserted into the lumen while the inserting device (10) is introduced into the tissues.
