Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a neuroendoscopic soft channel with a scalp-retracting and adjustable skull-fixing arm, belonging to the technical field of surgical instruments for neurosurgery neuroendoscopic platforms. Background Art

[0002] my country has now entered an aging society. The number of hemorrhagic stroke patients reaches about 5 million per year, mainly hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage. About 20-30% of patients need surgery to remove hematomas. The traditional surgical method is to open the skull and open the large bone flap to remove hematomas, and place catheters in the hematoma cavity and ventricles for drainage. The disadvantages are as follows: opening the skull and opening the large bone flap to remove hematomas artificially aggravates brain damage and has many complications; blind puncture and catheterization before surgery may cause the puncture position to deviate and damage the surrounding brain tissue, aggravating brain dysfunction, and simple catheterization and drainage may lead to insufficient drainage of hematomas, failing to achieve the purpose of shortening the course of the disease. In addition, during traditional surgery for deep brain tumors, intraventricular tumors, and functional diseases, large-scale brain tissue exposure and operation corridors may cause artificial damage, aggravating neurological dysfunction.

[0003] At present, the use of disposable dilators (disposable retractors) is widely promoted in the removal of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, removal of ventricular hematoma, and removal of intraventricular tumors at home and abroad. Its characteristics can be used for deep ventricle surgery, the surgical site can be accurately exposed, and the operation channel is protected by the dilator to avoid secondary damage to the brain tissue. Compared with traditional surgical methods, the use of disposable dilators for surgery is more minimally invasive, while reducing the exposure range of skin flaps and bone flaps, shortening the operation time, reducing the chance of postoperative infection, and the patient's recovery is fast, which improves the accuracy and safety of the operation.

[0004] With the continuous research and development of neuroendoscopic minimally invasive platforms in my country in recent years, the requirements for the safety, reliability and controllability of neuroendoscopic channels will continue to increase. However, the immaturity of endoscopic channels has always restricted the application and dissemination of this treatment method. The patent with publication number CN107007333A discloses a visual adjustable neuroendoscopic channel, but the device cannot fix the operation channel, and the endoscope, aspirator and other operating instruments need to be placed in the channel at the same time during the operation; if the channel is not effectively fixed, when multiple instruments are operated in the channel, it will not only affect the stability of the endoscopic image, but more importantly, the stability of the channel is poor when multiple instruments are operated in the channel, and the channel will be rigidly displaced when multiple instruments are operated, further damaging the brain tissue; if the best position of the channel during the operation is not fixed, it will be displaced due to the operation of the instrument or with the displacement of the brain tissue, and repeated adjustment of the channel position will also increase brain tissue damage; the channel during endoscopic operation is made of hard material, and it is impossible to adjust the various fields of view and operating angles more freely. If the brain tissue is forcibly pressed to the best field of view and operating angle, it will be rigidly displaced and damage the brain tissue. Summary of the invention
