Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an endoscope auxiliary device, an endoscope device and a traction forceps, belonging to the technical field of medical equipment. Background Art
[0002] Epidemiological surveys have found that the incidence of gallstones in my country is about 10%, and the patient population is huge. The main clinical treatments for gallstones include traditional open surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and cholecystolithotomy.
[0003] Traditional laparotomy usually involves making an incision under the ribs, separating the gallbladder from the gallbladder bed, and then removing the gallbladder, or cutting the gallbladder and suturing it to complete the gallbladder-preserving and stone-removing surgery. This surgery is highly invasive and takes a long time to heal, causing great pain and financial burden to the patient.
[0004] Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive method for removing the gallbladder. A small incision is made through the navel, and a laparoscope is inserted. Carbon dioxide gas is introduced to expand the abdomen. Under the monitoring of the laparoscope, the electrocoagulation hook, grasping forceps and other surgical instruments that enter from the sheath channel cooperate with each other to separate the gallbladder from the gallbladder bed. The gallbladder is then removed, or the gallbladder is cut and sutured to complete the gallbladder stone removal operation. Compared with traditional open surgery, this surgical method is a minimally invasive surgery, but because the laparoscope and instrument channels still require multiple trocar working channels in the abdomen, it will cause multiple post-healing skin scars to the patient.
[0005] To this end, in the prior art, an endoscopic auxiliary device is proposed, which is used in conjunction with an endoscope to enter the body from the natural cavity of the human body and perform collaborative surgery with multiple instruments and tools. For example, patent document EP1607037B1 discloses an endoscopic device, in which two traction clamps are fixed to the front end of the endoscope through a connecting component, and enter the human body together with the endoscope to achieve collaborative operation of multiple instruments under the endoscope and realize non-invasive surgery on the body surface.
[0006] For another example, patent document JP2023550505A discloses an endoscope device with an additional channel, in which the additional channel catheter is fixed to the endoscope by a fixing device to achieve coordinated use of two or more tools during endoscopic surgery.
[0007] However, in these existing solutions, two traction forceps or channel catheters are fixed together with the endoscope, which greatly increases the radial size of the endoscope device, making it difficult for the endoscope device to smoothly enter the human body from the natural cavity of the human body, causing great harm and pain to the patient when inserting the endoscope.

[0042] In order to make the present invention more clearly understood, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] In the present invention, the tip end side of the endoscope 2 is referred to as a distal end, and the operation portion side of the endoscope 2 is referred to as a proximal end.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 of the present invention is used in conjunction with an endoscope 2 to form an endoscope device. The endoscope 2 has an insertion portion and a curved portion disposed at the front end of the insertion portion. When the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is used, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is fixed on the endoscope 2 and enters the natural cavity of the human body together with the endoscope 2.
[0045] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is fixed to the insertion portion of the endoscope 2, and the bending portion of the endoscope 2 protrudes distally from the endoscope auxiliary device 1 and is located on the distal side of the endoscope auxiliary device 1. In this way, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 does not affect the bending of the endoscope 2, and the bending operation of the endoscope 2 does not affect the operation of additional instruments and other tools that enter the human body through the endoscope auxiliary device 1, which can prevent interference between multiple instruments.
[0046] The length of the endoscope auxiliary device 1 can be set as needed. The endoscope auxiliary device 1 can have a length that is substantially the same as the length of the insertion portion of the endoscope 2, or can be shorter than the length of the insertion portion of the endoscope 2. As long as the proximal end of the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is located outside the body when the endoscope 2 enters the predetermined area, it is convenient to operate additional instruments to enter, and after the additional instruments emerge from the distal end of the endoscope auxiliary device 1, they can cooperate with the instruments that enter the human body through the endoscope 2.
[0047] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 , the endoscope assisting device 1 involved in the present invention is described in detail.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 includes an endoscope fixing portion 11 and a shape-variable portion 12. The shape-variable portion 12 includes a distal wall 121, a proximal wall 122, and an outer wall 123 connecting the distal wall 121 and the proximal wall 122. The proximal wall 122 is provided with a channel entrance of a first channel 124, and the first channel 124 extends along the length direction of the shape-variable portion 12.
[0049] The channel outlet of the first channel 124 can be arranged on the distal wall 121 , and additional instruments can directly enter the body from the distal wall 121 .
[0050] The endoscope fixing portion 11 is provided on the outer side wall 123 of the shape-variable portion 12 , and is used to fix the shape-variable portion 12 (ie, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 ) on the endoscope 2 .
[0051] In addition, if Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the distal wall 121, the proximal wall 122, the outer wall 123 and the channel wall of the first channel 124 form a fluid receiving chamber 126. The proximal wall 122 is also provided with a fluid inlet and outlet. By allowing the fluid (gas or liquid) to flow in and out of the fluid receiving chamber 126 through the fluid inlet and outlet, the shape-variable portion 12 is in the contracted natural state ( Figure 3 state shown) and the expanded use state ( Figure 4 states shown).
[0052] Thus, before the endoscope 2 enters the natural cavity of the human body, the fluid in the fluid receiving chamber 126 is emptied, so that the shape-variable portion 12 is in a contracted natural state, so that the shape-variable portion 12 is closely attached to the insertion portion of the endoscope 2. Even if the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is fixed on the endoscope 2, the overall radial dimension will not change greatly. Therefore, the endoscope 2 with the endoscope auxiliary device 1 fixed can smoothly enter the natural cavity of the human body. On the other hand, after the endoscope 2 enters the natural cavity of the human body and reaches the predetermined area, the shape-variable portion 12 is in an expanded use state by allowing the fluid to flow into the fluid receiving chamber 126, exposing the first channel 124 provided on the shape-variable portion 12, and additional instruments and other tools can enter from the first channel 124, so that two or more tools can be used in coordination during endoscopic surgery. Therefore, according to the present invention, while two or more tools can be used in coordination during endoscopic surgery, the difficulty of the endoscope entering the natural cavity of the human body is greatly reduced.
[0053] Furthermore, when the shape-variable portion 12 changes between the natural state and the use state, the shape-variable portion 12 changes shape only in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the shape-variable portion 12. In other words, when the shape-variable portion 12 changes between the natural state and the use state, the shape-variable portion 12 does not change shape or changes shape only slightly in the length direction of the shape-variable portion 12. Thus, the shape-variable portion 12 in the use state can be prevented from affecting the bending of the bending portion of the endoscope 2, and at the same time, when the shape-variable portion 12 is in the use state, the channel of the first channel 124 can be ensured to be complete and provide a larger channel space.
[0054] Preferably, if Figure 2As shown, the outer wall 123 is provided with a recess 125 at a position close to the distal wall 121, and the channel outlet of the first channel 124 and the guide slope are provided in the recess 125. When the shape variable portion 12 is in use, the guide slope is provided adjacent to the channel outlet of the first channel 124, and the guide slope is provided at the distal side of the channel outlet and is inclined in a manner that the closer to the distal wall 121, the higher the height.
[0055] With such a structure, when additional instruments and other tools emerge from the channel exit of the first channel 124, the additional instruments are lifted by the guide slope adjacent to the channel exit to change the forward direction of the additional instruments, thereby increasing the operating space and operating freedom of the additional instruments and other tools, and preventing the bending portion of the endoscope 2 from interfering with the additional instruments when bending, so as to facilitate the cooperation between the additional instruments and the instruments entering from the instrument channel of the endoscope 2.
[0056] Furthermore, in the present invention, the inclination angle of the guide slope can be adjusted by changing the expansion degree of the shape-variable portion 12, thereby adjusting the lifting direction of the additional device, which can improve the operating convenience of the additional device and shorten the time for the additional device to find the target area.
[0057] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, the endoscope fixing portion 11 is provided with a second channel 111. The endoscope fixing portion 11 is detachably mounted on the insertion portion of the endoscope 2 via the second channel 111. In this way, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 can be applied to the existing endoscope 2, and can be removed from the endoscope 2 after use, which is convenient for cleaning the endoscope auxiliary device 1 and the endoscope 2. Furthermore, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 can be a disposable product, which can be removed from the endoscope 2 and discarded after use.
[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the endoscope assisting device 1 may also have a fluid control system.
[0059] The fluid control system includes a fluid pipe 3 , a safety valve 4 , a pressure gauge 5 , a fluid supply device 6 , and a changeover switch 7 .
[0060] One end of the fluid tube 3 is connected to the fluid inlet and outlet of the shape-variable portion 12, and the middle or tail of the fluid tube 3 is connected to the safety valve 4, the pressure gauge 5 and the fluid supply device 6. In addition, a switch 7 is installed at the end of the other end of the fluid tube 3, and the switch 7 controls the opening and closing of the fluid tube 3.
[0061] When the endoscope auxiliary device 1 needs to be switched from the natural state to the use state, the fluid tube 3 is connected to the fluid inlet and outlet of the shape-variable portion 12, and the switch 7 is switched to close the end of the fluid tube 3, thereby closing the fluid tube 3, and supplying fluid to the fluid receiving chamber 126 of the shape-variable portion 12 through the fluid supply device 6 until the pressure gauge 5 reaches a specified pressure. When the fluid is supplied, the inflation pressure is monitored by the pressure gauge 5, and when the pressure exceeds the specified safety pressure, the fluid is discharged through the safety valve 4 to prevent the pressure in the fluid receiving chamber 126 from being too high, resulting in damage to the endoscope auxiliary device 1.
[0062] When the endoscope auxiliary device 1 needs to be switched from the use state to the natural state, it is only necessary to turn on the switching switch 7 so that the end of the fluid tube 3 is opened to the outside, and the fluid in the fluid containing cavity 126 flows out through the fluid tube 3 .
[0063] The fluid tube 3 can be directly fixed on the fluid inlet and outlet of the shape-variable portion 12 to form an integral body with the endoscope auxiliary device 1 .
[0064] On the other hand, the fluid tube 3 and the shape-variable part 12 may be independent components. When the fluid tube 3 and the shape-variable part 12 are independent, the end of the fluid tube 3 may not be equipped with the switch 7 but may be a closed structure, or the end of the fluid tube 3 may be directly connected to the fluid supply device 6. When the endoscope auxiliary device 1 needs to be switched from the use state to the natural state, the fluid tube 3 and the shape-variable part 12 may be directly separated, and the fluid in the fluid receiving chamber 126 may flow out through the fluid inlet and outlet of the shape-variable part 12.
[0065] Furthermore, when the fluid tube 3 and the shape-variable part 12 are independent of each other, a one-way inflow valve such as a valve core can be used as the fluid inlet and outlet of the shape-variable part 12. When the fluid pressure in the fluid-containing cavity 126 reaches a specified pressure, the fluid tube 3 and the shape-variable part 12 are separated, and the fluid pressure in the fluid-containing cavity 126 is maintained by the sealing performance of the fluid-containing cavity 126 and the one-way inflow valve. In this way, when the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is used, the fluid control system can be removed to prevent the fluid control system from interfering with the endoscope user such as a doctor.
[0066] In addition, at the end of use, it is only necessary to use a tool to operate the one-way inflow valve, that is, to close the one-way effect of the one-way inflow valve (for example, pressing the valve core, etc.) and discharge the fluid in the fluid containing chamber 126.
[0067] Next, refer to Figure 5-Figure 7, an example of an additional instrument used in the endoscope device involved in the present invention is described. The additional instrument is a traction forceps 8, which is used in conjunction with the endoscope auxiliary device 1 and can pass through the first channel 124 of the shape-variable portion 12 in the use state. The biggest feature of the traction forceps 8 is that it is provided with a lighting unit and a camera unit.
[0068] like Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the traction clamp 8 comprises a main body 84 and a traction clamp curved portion 85 disposed at the distal end of the main body 84. An extension portion 86 protruding from the distal end surface is disposed on the distal end surface of the traction clamp curved portion 85, and a clamping portion 87 of the traction clamp 8 is disposed on the extension portion 86. Figure 6 As shown, the distal end surface of the traction clamp bending portion 85 is also provided with an illumination unit 88 and a camera unit 89. Figure 6 Two lighting units 88 are shown in the figure, but the number of the lighting units 88 can also be one, three, or other numbers, which is not limited in the present invention.
[0069] Thus, for example, in endoscopic gallbladder surgery, during the insertion of the endoscope 2, the shape-variable portion 12 of the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is covered on the insertion portion of the endoscope 2. After being pushed to the target area of the stomach, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 supplies fluid to the fluid containing cavity 126 through the fluid control system, and the shape-variable portion 12 of the endoscope auxiliary device 1 changes from a contracted natural state to an expanded working state, exposing the first channel 124. The traction forceps 8 is delivered into the stomach through the first channel 124, and under the guidance of the lighting unit 88 and the camera unit 89 attached to the traction forceps 8, and driven by the guide slope of the shape-variable portion 12 and the bending portion 85 of the traction forceps 8, it reaches the target position, clamps and tractions the stomach wall or the gallbladder wall, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the instrument entering through the endoscope 2 assists in performing operations such as incision and postoperative suturing of the stomach wall and gallbladder wall. In addition, when performing operations such as incision and postoperative suturing of the stomach wall and gallbladder wall, the camera unit 89 attached to the traction forceps 8 can also observe the movement of the endoscope 2, especially the movement of the instrument performing the incision and suturing operations, which can improve the safety of the operation.
[0070] Of course, the endoscopic device of the present invention can also be applied to other endoscopic surgeries that require the cooperation of multiple instruments.
[0071] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the traction forceps 8 are further provided with a clamping operation portion 81 , a bending operation portion 82 , and a locking portion 83 .
[0072] The clamping operation part 81 controls the clamping action of the clamping part 87 of the traction forceps 8 , the bending operation part 82 controls the bending action of the traction forceps bending part 85 , and the locking part 83 can lock the clamping operation part 81 and the bending operation part 82 to lock the posture of the traction forceps 8 .
[0073] In addition, Figure 2 The endoscope fixing portion 11 and the shape-variable portion 12 shown in the figure have approximately the same length, and are in the shape of a long cylinder with a second channel 111 formed inside. However, the endoscope fixing portion 11 can also have other forms. For example, the endoscope fixing portion 11 can be a fixed platform on the outer wall 123, which is bonded to the endoscope 2 by an adhesive; the endoscope fixing portion 11 can be a buckle provided on the outer wall 123, which snaps and fixes the shape-variable portion 12 to the endoscope 2; or the endoscope auxiliary device 1 and the insertion portion of the endoscope 2 can be integrally formed, in which case the connection portion between the endoscope auxiliary device 1 and the endoscope 2 can be regarded as the endoscope fixing portion 11. The endoscope fixing portion 11 can also be in other forms, as long as the shape-variable portion 12 can be fixed to the endoscope 2.
[0074] Reference Figure 8 , a modified example of the endoscope fixing portion 11 is described.
[0075] like Figure 8 As shown, the endoscope fixing part 11 includes a plurality of sleeves 11' spaced apart and evenly distributed on the outer wall 123, and the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is provided with a plurality of sleeves 11'. With such a structure, the endoscope auxiliary device 1 is detachably sleeved on the insertion part of the endoscope 2 through the plurality of sleeves 11', which can reduce the difficulty of installing and removing the endoscope auxiliary device 1, and can improve the convenience of cleaning the sleeves 11'.
[0076] Of course, in order to improve the reliability of fixation of the endoscopic auxiliary device 1, when the endoscope 2 is inserted, the endoscopic auxiliary device 1 is prevented from moving on the insertion portion of the endoscope 2, and a sleeve 11' is provided at least on the distal side of the endoscopic auxiliary device 1, that is, at a position adjacent to the outer wall 123 and the distal wall 121.
