Abstract

An ultrasonic surgery device (21) is provided with: an ultrasonic vibrator (Ib); an ultrasonic drive device (5) which drives the ultrasonic vibrator (Ib) with a drive signal; a probe (2) which comprises a proximal end provided with the ultrasonic vibrator (Ib), comprises a distal end to which ultrasonic vibration is transmitted, and treats an organism tissue with the ultrasonic vibration of the distal end; a resonance frequency tracking unit (37) for driving the ultrasonic vibrator (Ib) so as to perform ultrasonic vibration at a resonance frequency; a detection unit (38) which has the function of a filter unit (39) for detecting a frequency component signal of the frequency component of the drive signal other than the resonance frequency; and a cavitation reduction control unit (40a) which controls according to the result of the detection the cavitation to be reduced or extinguished.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic surgical device, an ultrasonic surgical system, and a cavitation suppression method for performing surgery using ultrasonic vibration and suppressing cavitation caused by ultrasonic vibration. Background technique [0002] In recent years, ultrasonic surgical devices that operate on living tissue using ultrasonic vibrations generated by ultrasonic vibrators have been widely used. In addition, when the living tissue is subjected to ultrasonic vibration, since the living tissue contains liquid, cavitation may occur. This cavitation means that when the pressure of the liquid becomes lower than the vapor pressure determined by the temperature of the liquid, the liquid evaporates to generate bubbles of vapor. [0003] Therefore, when a density wave is generated by ultrasonic vibration, cavitation occurs with generation of negative pressure. [0004] Therefore, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Ope...
