Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, and more specifically, to an auxiliary positioning device for minimally invasive spinal surgery. Background Art

[0002] Minimally invasive spinal surgery is an important development direction of modern spinal surgery. With its significant advantages of less trauma and faster recovery, it is increasingly widely used in the treatment of spinal diseases. In this type of surgery, accurate positioning is one of the key factors to ensure the success of the operation, reduce surgical risks, improve surgical efficiency, and reduce complications. Therefore, auxiliary positioning devices play an indispensable role.

[0003] There is no corresponding auxiliary positioning device for minimally invasive spinal surgery at present. It completely relies on the surgeon's own accumulated experience and feel, and then confirms, adjusts the positioning, and reconfirms through more than a dozen X-ray fluoroscopy. Some doctors will use instruments to peel and remove more human soft tissue to reach the intersection of the left and right channels of the surgical observation end and the surgical operation end and proceed to the next step of the operation. The harm to the patient and the surgical risk are relatively large, and the probability of postoperative complications and sequelae is increased, which is not conducive to improving the patient's postoperative quality of life and the smooth progress of the rehabilitation process. The surgical efficiency is low, and the doctor and the patient have to withstand multiple fluoroscopic radiation radiation, which causes great radiation damage.

[0004] Therefore, an auxiliary positioning device for minimally invasive spinal surgery is now proposed. Summary of the invention

The threaded needle end has a limited depth step at 6mm, which plays a role in depth protection to avoid damage to the soft tissue behind the needle caused by excessive penetration into the bone tissue. The tail end of the B positioning needle has a push-assist and pull-assist groove for easy holding and control by the operator.

[0008] Preferably, the head end of the positioning rod is a tapered blunt head, which can push away soft tissue to contact bone tissue and play a positioning role. The tail end of the positioning rod is provided with a pushing and pulling assisting groove, which is convenient for the operator to hold and control.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the depth limiting sleeve has a toothed structure, which can cooperate with the clamping mechanism of the locator fixing frame, adjust the working length and lock it. The center of the depth limiting sleeve has a through hole, and the tail end has an elastic buckle, which can be adjusted by a nut to clamp and fix the B positioning needle and positioning rod.

[0010] Preferably, the positioner fixing frame includes a fixing frame body, a slide groove, a locking hole and a first clamping block. The fixing frame body is an arc-shaped structure. A slide groove is provided in the fixing frame body. A locking hole is provided at the bottom of the slide groove. A first clamping block is installed at one end of the fixing frame body. The first clamping block is used to clamp the depth limiting casing.

[0011] Preferably, the locator adjustment frame includes a sliding frame body, a dial, a connecting head and a second clamping block. The sliding frame body is an arc-shaped structure, and the sliding frame body is plugged into the sliding groove. A dial is provided on the front of the sliding frame body, and a connecting head is provided at one end of the sliding frame body.

[0017] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention: 1. The locator's bilateral fixing and sliding adjustment frame are used to adjust the locator's opening angle and the working angle of the locator's guide rod according to the scale. The locator's and the locator's guide rod are positioned to allow the operating end to quickly enter the endoscope's field of view, reducing the number of fluoroscopy times and X-ray hazards, reducing the risk of damaging healthy tissues, and improving the success rate and safety of the operation. This is especially advantageous in complex anatomical areas of the spine, reducing the probability of neurovascular injury.

[0018] 2. After the locator is accurately positioned, the positioning needle puncture, guide wire positioning, hollow positioning rod and expansion tube expansion are connected in an orderly manner. The process is smooth and completed in one go, which greatly shortens the operation time, reduces the patient's trauma and postoperative recovery burden, and is of great significance for patients with poor physical condition or urgent illness.

[0019] 3. It integrates positioning, puncture, hole expansion, field of view provision and protection functions to avoid frequent replacement of instruments causing surgical interruptions or errors, and improve overall surgical efficiency and reliability.

[0020] 4. The arc structure of the positioner provides stable support for the device. The combination of the slide groove and the locking hole enables flexible and accurate positioning and fixation of the adjustment frame to adapt to different lesion locations and surgical approach requirements, ensure surgical positioning accuracy, and improve operational convenience and surgical success rate.

[0021] 5. Through the clamping blocks and clamping grooves of the locator fixing frame and the adjustment frame, the depth limiting sleeve and the positioning needle guide rod are firmly clamped to prevent the positioning point from shifting and shaking, reducing operational errors and surgical risks, and improving surgical safety and accuracy.

[0022] 6. The adjustment frame dial provides intuitive and accurate quantitative basis for positioning the positioning needle. The doctor can precisely control the error within the millimeter level, ensuring accurate implementation of the surgical operation and improving the effect and safety of surgical treatment.

[0023] 7. The nut is tightly against the adjusting frame in the locking hole to build a stable mechanical connection, strengthen the stability of the combination of the fixed frame and the adjusting frame, resist external force interference during surgical operations, and prevent the displacement deviation of the adjusting frame from affecting the expansion accuracy and surgical progress, laying a solid foundation for precise surgical operations. The reliable locking mechanism reduces the risk of loss of control of surgical instruments and damage to surrounding tissues due to accidental movement of the instruments, ensures the predictability and accuracy of surgical operations, improves surgical safety and stability, allows doctors to focus on key steps of surgical operations, reduces psychological pressure and the probability of operational errors, and protects the life and health of patients.

[0024] 8. The close cooperation between the clamping groove and the clamping block provides reliable friction and clamping force for the depth-limiting cannula and the positioning needle guide rod, preventing unstable conditions such as displacement, falling off, and rotation, ensuring the normal function and operation accuracy of surgical instruments, improving the continuity and reliability of surgical operations, and reducing surgical risks caused by instrument failures.
