Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bile and pancreatic duct medical instruments, and in particular to a multi-directional papillary sphincterotomy knife. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of endoscopic technology and the continuous improvement of its accessories, endoscopic endoscopic resection (ERCP) has become an important measure for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, including common bile duct stones, bile duct injury, bile duct stenosis, and biliary complications after liver transplantation. Compared with traditional open surgery, this technology has the advantages of less trauma, higher safety factor, and faster recovery. Under direct observation, it can detect hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases that cannot be found by conventional hepatobiliary, spleen and pancreas CT, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging, and treat them at the same time, such as duodenal papillitis, papillary stenosis, juxtapapillary diverticulum, excessive length of duodenal papilla, and abnormal bile and pancreatic confluence.

[0003] Although ERCP has the above advantages in treating hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, its operation difficulty coefficient is relatively high. The key to the success of ERCP surgery lies in the successful selective cannulation of the pancreaticobiliary duct and sphincterotomy. Some patients directly fail the ERCP surgery due to cannulation failure. Repeated cannulation of the duodenal papilla not only prolongs the operation time and increases the surgical risk, but also easily induces acute pancreatitis, thereby increasing the cost of treatment, prolonging the hospitalization time, causing great pain to the patient, and there is a certain mortality rate. Clinically, in order to improve the success rate of papillary cannulation in ERCP surgery, guidewire-assisted papillary sphincterotomy is often used for bile duct cannulation or pancreatic duct occupation method is used for bile duct cannulation.

[0004] The sphincterotomy tube used clinically is cylindrical in shape, with a conical head. The sphincterotomy head is open, and the guide wire is used for intubation or angiography. When intubating the bile duct, the sphincterotomy is first inserted into the common channel of the duodenal sphincter, and then the zebra guide wire is inserted through the sphincterotomy. The guide wire is inserted into the bile duct or pancreatic duct by adjusting the direction of the sphincterotomy head, and then the guide wire is tightened to make its head arched, and the sphincterotomy is performed. The sphincterotomy tool has the following disadvantages: 1. The opening of the tip of the sphincterotomy tool is cone-shaped, and it is difficult to insert the sphincterotomy tool into the common channel of the duodenal papilla. The sphincterotomy tool can be directly inserted into the bile duct or pancreatic duct, especially for the duodenal papilla with a single-hole opening. In addition, repeated intubation can easily lead to edema of the duodenal papilla, increase the difficulty of intubation and the incidence of complications such as intraoperative bleeding and postoperative pancreatitis; 2. The adjustable range of the incision direction is small. After tightening the metal wire, the metal wire is mostly located at the 12 o'clock direction of the nipple, and the incision site is too close to the 1 o'clock direction of the duodenal papilla, which can easily lead to edema of the pancreatic duct sphincter papilla and postoperative pancreatitis; 3. The duodenal papilla of some patients is blocked by the duodenal annular folds, resulting in unclear observation of the duodenal papilla. The use of the papillary sphincter incision process can easily cause burns to the duodenal folds, and there is even a risk of intestinal wall necrosis and perforation. Summary of the invention
