Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of urology and men's medical instruments, and in particular to a visualized circumcision stapler. Background Art

[0002] Prepuce is too long means that when the penis is flaccid or erect, the glans penis cannot be fully exposed, but the foreskin can be turned down by hand; phimosis means that the opening of the foreskin is narrow and the foreskin is adhered to the glans penis. Prepuce is too long and phimosis has the following hazards: hindering the development of the penis and causing it to be short; prone to inflammation of the foreskin, glans penis, urethra and prostate; repeated inflammation can lead to the occurrence of penile tumors; easy to transmit sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, etc.; can cause infertility; can cause sexual partners to suffer from diseases such as cervicitis and cervical cancer. Circumcision has the following benefits: reduce the incidence of penile cancer; reduce the incidence of cervical cancer; reduce the incidence of urinary tract infection; facilitate the redevelopment of the penis; prevent sexually transmitted diseases, especially as a "natural vaccine" for HIV; reduce the incidence of impotence and premature ejaculation, improve the quality of sexual life of couples, help harmonious marriage life, and reduce the divorce rate; reduce the decline in sperm quality caused by reproductive system infection, which is conducive to eugenics.

[0003] With the development of medicine and product research and development, more and more minimally invasive medical devices are used in urology and men's clinical surgery. Circumcision staplers are one of them. The application of circumcision staplers has many advantages, such as less intraoperative bleeding, shorter operation time, minimizing manual operation errors, reducing postoperative infection, less postoperative pain, and rapid functional recovery. However, when using existing circumcision staplers, it is impossible to observe the condition of the foreskin inner plate, glans and frenulum. During the operation, the remaining length of the frenulum is judged based on the doctor's experience, which requires high clinical experience of the doctor, has a low safety factor, and the operation is not precise enough, which often causes some medical disputes and has certain medical risks. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems that the existing disposable circumcision staplers have high requirements on the doctor's experience, low safety factor and poor accuracy, the present invention provides a visual circumcision stapler that can intuitively observe the shape and position of the foreskin inner plate, glans and frenulum without relying on the surgeon's experience, making the circumcision surgery more accurate, safe, minimally invasive, beautiful and objective.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A visualized circumcision stapler comprises a glans cover, wherein a camera and a light source are arranged inside the glans cover; and a display module, wherein the display module is electrically connected to the camera and is used for displaying images captured by the camera in real time.

[0007] The present invention sets a camera and a light source in the glans hood, and displays the picture taken by the camera in real time through a display module, so that the position and shape of the inner plate of the foreskin, the glans and the frenulum of the foreskin can be observed intuitively during the operation, so that the circumcision operation can be performed under direct vision, thereby ensuring that the circumcision operation is accurate, safe and minimally invasive. Since the operation can be visualized, it does not rely on the experience of the surgeon, and the length of the frenulum of the foreskin can be accurately retained, so that the circumcision anastomosis is more objective and standardized.

[0008] As a specific implementation of the glans cover, the glans cover is provided with an adjusting screw, and the display module is detachably connected to the adjusting screw, so that the display module can be reused, reducing the use cost of the circumcision stapler and facilitating its promotion.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the glans cover is adapted to have an inner cover, and the inner cover is made of a transparent material. The camera is located in the space between the glans cover and the inner cover to prevent the glans from blocking the camera during use, thereby ensuring that the surgery is performed visually.

[0010] Furthermore, the middle of the adjusting screw is rotatably connected with a rotating rod; one end of the rotating rod is connected to the camera through a connecting rod, and the other end of the rotating rod is located outside the end of the adjusting screw away from the glans cover; the connecting rod can rotate around the axis of the adjusting screw in the space between the glans cover and the inner cover. During the operation, by rotating the rotating rod, the camera can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the glans, and the foreskin inner plate, glans and frenulum can be observed from multiple angles to avoid visual blind spots, so as to cut the excessively long foreskin more intuitively and safely.

[0011] Preferably, a wiring gap is left between the rotating rod and the adjusting screw to facilitate the wiring of the camera and the display module connection line. As a specific embodiment of the light source, the light source is a ring light strip arranged on the inner wall of the glans cap to ensure that the camera can take clear pictures.

[0012] As a specific embodiment of the stapler, it also includes a stapler, a stapler sleeve is provided outside the stapler, a stapler pusher ring is provided inside the stapler sleeve, a circular cutting knife and a pusher are provided at one end of the stapler pusher ring, a pusher block is screwed at one end of the stapler sleeve away from the circular cutting knife, and the pusher block is used to push the stapler pusher ring to move along the axial direction of the stapler. The pusher block is rotated to push the stapler pusher to perform circular cutting and staple placement. Compared with the existing handle-type circular cutting stapler, the structure is simpler and can better ensure the complete circular cutting.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a safety pin, which is connected with the staple cartridge sleeve and the push block pin to prevent misoperation of the circumcision stapler.

[0014] Preferably, the staple cartridge sleeve is made of a transparent material to facilitate observation of the position of the circumcision knife, thereby further ensuring that the circumcision is thorough.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. By setting a camera and a light source inside the glans hood, and displaying the image captured by the camera in real time through the display module, the position and shape of the inner plate of the foreskin, the glans and the frenulum of the foreskin can be intuitively observed during the operation, so that the circumcision operation can be performed under direct vision, thereby ensuring that the circumcision operation is accurate, safe and minimally invasive.

[0017] 2. Because it can be operated visually, it does not rely on the experience of the surgeon, and can accurately preserve the length of the frenulum, making circumcision anastomosis more objective and standardized.

[0018] 3. The middle of the adjusting screw is connected to a rotating rod, one end of which is connected to the camera through a connecting rod, and the other end is located outside the adjusting screw. The connecting rod can rotate around the axis of the adjusting screw in the space between the glans cover and the inner cover. The camera can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the glans, and the foreskin inner plate, glans and frenulum can be observed from all directions without blind spots, further ensuring the safety of the operation.

[0019] 4. The push block is rotated to push the push pin to perform circumcision and staple placement. Compared with the existing handle-type circumcision stapler, the structure is simpler and can ensure that the circumcision is more thorough. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their description are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Example

[0026] A visual circumcision stapler includes a glans cover 1, a display module 2, and a stapler 3. Specifically, a camera 11 and a light source 12 are provided in the glans cover 1. The light source 12 is a ring-shaped light strip arranged on the inner wall of the glans cover 1, and is usually a patch LED or other strip. In order to prevent the glans from blocking the camera 11 during surgery, the inner cavity of the glans cover 1 is adapted with an inner cover 14. The inner cover 14 is made of a transparent material, such as PC, acrylic board, PE, etc., and the camera 11 is set in the space between the glans cover and the inner cover 14. The display module 2 is electrically connected to the camera 11, and the display module 2 is usually installed on the outside of the circumcision stapler so that the image captured by the camera 11 can be displayed in real time through the display module 2.

[0027] The glans cap 1 is also provided with an adjustment screw 13, and the display module 2 is detachably connected to the adjustment screw 13, so that the display module 2 can be reused, reducing the use cost of the circumcision stapler and facilitating promotion. The camera 11, the light source 12 and the display module 2 can be powered by an external power supply, and in this example, in order to reduce the wiring of electrical appliances, a battery is built into the display module 2, and the camera 11 and the light source 12 are powered by the built-in battery.

[0028] The middle of the adjusting screw 13 is rotatably connected with a rotating rod 15, that is, the middle of the adjusting screw 13 is provided with a through hole for inserting the rotating rod 15. Specifically, one end of the rotating rod 15 is connected to the camera 11 through a connecting rod 16, and the other end of the rotating rod 15 is located outside the end of the adjusting screw 13 away from the glans cover 11, and the connecting rod 16 can rotate around the axis of the adjusting screw 13 in the space between the glans cover 1 and the inner cover 14. During the operation, by rotating the rotating rod 15, the camera 11 can be rotated around the glans, which is more convenient for intuitively and clearly observing the foreskin, frenulum and inner plate of the foreskin, and further ensuring the safety of the operation.

[0029] There is a wiring gap between the rotating rod 15 and the adjusting screw 13 to facilitate the wiring of the connection line between the camera 11 and the display module 2. Of course, a wireless camera can also be used, and it is only necessary to receive the video signal sent by the wireless camera through the display module 2 or a display terminal (such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer).

[0030] The nail magazine 3 is provided with a nail magazine sleeve 31 outside, and a nail pushing ring 32 is provided inside the nail magazine sleeve 31, and a ring cutting knife 33 and a push piece 34 are provided at one end of the nail pushing ring 32. It can be understood that the nail magazine 3 has a nail groove for containing suture nails, and the suture nails are pushed out by the push piece 34. A push block 35 is screwed to one end of the nail magazine sleeve 31 away from the ring cutting knife 33, and the push block 35 is used to push the nail pushing ring 32 to move axially along the nail magazine 2. In this embodiment, pin holes are provided on the push block 35 and the nail magazine sleeve 31 to insert the safety pin 4. In order to facilitate the observation of the position of the ring cutting knife 33, the nail magazine sleeve 32 is made of transparent material.

[0031] When in use, the adjusting screw 13 is passed through the nail magazine 3, and the adjusting nut 17 is screwed on the adjusting screw 13. The cutting length of the frenulum can be adjusted by adjusting the screwed nut 17. In order to prevent the rotating push block 35 from interfering with the adjusting nut 17, the side wall of the push nail ring 32 is provided with a push protrusion, and the side wall of the nail magazine sleeve 31 is provided with a waist-shaped hole for the push protrusion to extend. The push block 35 is screwed on the outside of the nail magazine sleeve 31 to push the protrusion by rotating the rotating block 35. In addition, a washer ring 18 is provided on the side of the glans hood 1 facing the nail magazine 3, and a needle holder 19 is provided on the outer sleeve of the washer ring 18. A silicone pad 36 is provided between the needle holder 19 and the nail magazine 3. The silicone pad 36 can play a role in isolating the suture nails, so that the foreskin tissue is separated from the suture nails during the healing process of the foreskin tissue after suture hemostasis, and the suture nails are automatically removed.

[0032] The method of using this embodiment is as follows:

[0033] Wrap the foreskin around the glans hood 1 and tie it with a wire, then partially sleeve the nail magazine 3 outside the adjusting screw 13, then adjust the cutting position by adjusting the nut 17, and rotate the rotating rod 15 to observe the inside of the glans hood 1 through the display screen of the display module 2. After the position is determined, remove the display module 2 and the safety pin 4, and rotate the push block 35 to push the nail push ring 32 forward, so that the circumcision knife 33 cooperates with the knife pad ring 18 to cut off the excess foreskin tissue, and at the same time, the suture nails in the nail magazine 3 are pushed out by the push piece 34 to penetrate the silicone pad 36, and then the suture nails are reversed by the nail support 19, so as to sew the silicone pad 36 with the foreskin incision. Finally, adjust the adjusting nut 17 to withdraw the circumcision stapler and complete the operation.

[0034] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
