A method of forming a wound for inducing lymphangiogenesis includes: providing a lymphangiogenesis inducing device that includes: a puncture member including a distal end portion configured to puncture living tissue, and a through hole penetrating the puncture member along a central axis and extending from the distal end portion toward a proximal end, and a rod-shaped body inserted into the through hole and configured to be moved so as to protrude from the distal end portion, where the rod-shaped body includes a shaft portion, and a wound imparting structure; puncturing the living tissue with the lymphangiogenesis inducing device while the rod-shaped body is located in the through hole; passing the lymphangiogenesis inducing device through a regeneration route; pulling back the puncture member while the rod-shaped body is left in the living tissue; and pulling back the rod-shaped body.
