Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a minimally invasive and degradable digestive tract anastomosis stent through a natural cavity and an implantation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Digestive tract reconstruction after surgical resection of the digestive tract is the key to surgical operations. The anastomosis operation is prone to be complicated and traumatic, or complications may occur after anastomosis, such as anastomotic leakage and anastomotic stenosis. The following introduces the technical background using the most common esophagogastric anastomosis as an example.

[0003] Esophageal cancer is one of the five malignant tumors with the highest incidence and mortality in China. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment method and the only radical cure. Esophageal-gastric anastomosis after surgical resection is the key to the operation. In open-chest surgery, the anastomosis techniques mainly include manual suture anastomosis and stapler anastomosis. Manual suture anastomosis is a traditional anastomosis method, which is completed by manual suture with silk thread or absorbable thread. The operation is complicated, the anastomosis takes a long time, and there are many complications. It is easy to have problems such as anastomotic fistula and stenosis. However, this method is low in cost and is still the main anastomosis method in some areas. There are currently two main methods of stapler anastomosis: circular stapler and linear stapler. Among them, the circular stapler is the most commonly used method. The method is mature, but the operation is relatively complicated. About 3%-5% of patients also have complications such as anastomotic fistula or stenosis.

6. The minimally invasive and degradable digestive tract anastomosis stent through natural cavity according to claim 1, characterized in that: The material of the stent body is a degradable zinc alloy, magnesium alloy or polylactic acid, polyethylene, PGA, or PCL material.

7. The minimally invasive and degradable digestive tract anastomosis stent through natural cavity according to claim 1, characterized in that: The surface of the stent body may be coated with a biomaterial and may be coated with a sustained-release drug that stimulates tissue growth or resists infection.

8. The minimally invasive and degradable digestive tract anastomosis stent through natural cavity according to claim 1, characterized in that: The stent also includes a delivery system and a guide wire. The delivery system includes an inflation port, a three-layer pipeline, and a first balloon. The innermost layer of the three-layer pipeline is an inner core, the middle layer is a push tube, and the outermost layer is an outer sheath tube. A guide wire can pass through the interior of the inner core, and the inflation port is arranged at the tail end of the inner core; the first balloon is arranged at the head end of the inner core, and the shape of the first balloon is set to correspond to the shape of the stent body; the stent body can be folded and compressed and attached to the outside of the first balloon inside the outer sheath and the head end of the inner core; after the delivery system delivers the stent body into place, the stent body is gradually pushed out and the first balloon is gradually expanded, so that the stent body can be gradually unfolded and fixed to anastomose the proximal and distal ends of the digestive tract, or air is injected through the inflation port to expand the first balloon, thereby assisting or promoting the expansion and fixation of the stent body.

9. The minimally invasive and degradable digestive tract anastomosis stent through natural cavity according to claim 8, characterized in that: The push tube is provided with a detection mechanism for detecting the tightness of the suture of the anastomosis, and the detection mechanism comprises: A second balloon and a third balloon, wherein the second balloon and the third balloon are sleeved and connected to the head of the push tube and are arranged at intervals, and the second balloon and the third balloon can be folded and compressed to be attached between the outer sheath tube and the push tube; Among them, the outer wall of the tail of the push tube is circumferentially distributed with a first gas injection port, a liquid injection port and a second gas injection port, the outer wall of the head of the push tube has a first gas outlet connected to the second balloon, a second gas outlet connected to the third balloon, and a liquid outlet, the liquid outlet is arranged between the second balloon and the third balloon, and the inner wall of the push tube also has a first gas channel connecting the first gas injection port and the first gas outlet, a second gas channel connecting the second gas injection port and the second gas outlet, and a liquid injection channel connecting the liquid injection port and the liquid outlet.

10. An implantation method, comprising the minimally invasive and degradable digestive tract anastomosis stent through natural cavity as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that: The implantation method comprises: S1: delivering the stent body to the front side of the anastomosis of the digestive tract through the delivery system; S2: gradually pushing the inner core forward and pushing the stent body to the digestive tract anastomosis; S3: injecting air into the inflation port to gradually expand the first balloon and assist the stent body to gradually unfold and fix, and anastomose the proximal and distal ends of the digestive tract; S4: deflating the first balloon through the inflation port to shrink the first balloon, and pulling back the inner core until the first balloon shrinks into the push tube; S5: pushing the pushing tube and the inner core forward step by step and synchronously, and pushing the third balloon and the second balloon in the detection mechanism out of the outer sheath tube in sequence, until the third balloon passes through the stent body; S6: injecting gas into the second balloon and the third balloon through the first gas injection port and the second gas injection port respectively, so that the second balloon and the third balloon gradually expand until they are in sealing contact with the inner wall of the digestive tract; S7: injecting a colored harmless liquid into the digestive tract between the second balloon and the third balloon through the liquid injection port, and determining whether liquid leaks out of the digestive tract through the anastomosis to detect the tightness of the anastomosis suture; S8: When no leakage is detected, the second balloon and the third balloon are deflated and contracted, and the push tube and the inner core are gradually pulled back until the second balloon and the third balloon are sequentially contracted into the outer sheath tube; S9: Take out the entire delivery system and complete the implantation operation of the stent body.
