[0003] During tumor ablation surgery, the ablation needle will generate high temperatures during the operation. These high temperatures will not only have an ablation effect on the tumor tissue, but also pose a potential threat to the surrounding organs.

[0032] The circulating water cooling assembly 2 includes a flow tube 23 connected to the ultrasonic probe 1. The size of the flow tube 23 is the same as that of the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0043] The circulating water cooling assembly 2 includes a flow tube 23 connected to the ultrasonic probe 1. The size of the flow tube 23 is the same as that of the ultrasonic probe 1. The flow tube 23 is connected to the ultrasonic probe 1 by a snap-on connection.

After the cooling water source flows in the flow tube 23 to achieve a cooling effect, it flows out through the water outlet pipe 23, and the cycle is repeated in sequence.

[0044] The blowing assembly 3 includes a connecting pipe 31, which is connected to an external air pump mechanism. An air outlet pipe 33 is provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe 31, and an adjusting seat 32 is provided at the intersection of the connecting pipe 31 and the air outlet pipe 33. One end of the blowing assembly 3 is connected to the external air pump mechanism. Through the operation of the air pump mechanism, the blowing assembly 3 can blow out cold air, and by adjusting the adjusting seat 32, the angles of the connecting pipe 31 and the air outlet pipe 33 can be adjusted to expand the air outlet range.

[0045] A fixing seat 5 is provided at the corresponding positions of the ultrasonic probe 1 and the circulating water cooling component 2 and the blowing component 3. The fixing seat 5 includes an arc plate connected to the circulating water cooling component 2 and positioning plates placed at both ends of the arc plate. The circulating water cooling component 2 and the blowing component 3 are stably connected to the ultrasonic probe 1 through the fixing seat 5, which can prevent the circulating water cooling component 2 and the blowing component 3 from falling off.

[0046] A connecting line 4 is also provided at the top of the ultrasonic probe 1 for connecting to external equipment for development. When the ultrasonic probe 1 moves, it can drive the circulating water cooling component 2 and the blowing component 3 to move synchronously. A high-resolution probe is used at the bottom of the ultrasonic probe 1, which can clearly detect the position and status of the organs, and a protective cover is provided at the bottom of the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0047] The circulating water cooling component 2 and the air blowing component 3 are each independently provided with a controller, and the working states of the circulating water cooling component 2 and the air blowing component 3 are independently controlled through independent control.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0049] An elderly patient with liver cancer underwent ablation treatment. Due to his frail body, he had a poor tolerance to thermal damage to his organs.

[0050] During the operation, the new liver tumor ablation protection device played an important role. The water pump connected to the circulating water cooling component 2 automatically adjusted the power according to the real-time monitored temperature, increased the flow rate of the cooling water, and enhanced the cooling effect. The blowing component 3 continued to blow out cold air, and cooperated with the cooling water to start the circulating water cooling component 2 and the blowing component 3. During the mobile detection process, the ultrasonic probe 1 drove the circulating water cooling component 2 to dynamically cool the surrounding organs, and the blowing component 3 simultaneously blew out cold air, which jointly exerted a cooling effect and successfully protected the surrounding important organs. The patient recovered well after the operation without any complications caused by thermal damage.

[0051] Working principle:

[0052] When performing liver tumor ablation surgery, the protective device of the present invention is placed in the surgical area.

[0053] The ultrasonic probe 1 is used to detect the position and state of the internal organs in real time. When the ultrasonic probe 1 moves, the circulating water cooling component 2 connected thereto also moves.

[0054] The circulating water cooling assembly 2 is interconnected with an external cooling device, so that under the pumping of the cooling device, the cooling water flows through the area around the surgery that needs to be cooled through the flow pipe 23. After absorbing heat, the cooling water flows out from the water outlet pipe 22, and then dissipates heat through the radiator of the cooling device, and flows back to the water inlet pipe 21, forming a continuous cooling cycle.

[0055] At the same time, the air pump in the air pump mechanism runs, so that the cold air in the blowing component 3 is blown toward the operating area, and the air outlet pipe 33 in the blowing component 3 can be adjusted through the adjustment seat 32 to change the air outlet range. Then, through the heat exchange effect of the cooling water in the circulating water cooling component 2 and the cold air blown out by the blowing component 3, the two work together to cool down the surrounding organs.

[0056] In this way, the high temperature generated by the ablation needle during operation can effectively avoid damage to nearby important organs, and the important organs can be isolated from the liver tumor more safely and completely, ensuring the smooth progress of the operation and the safety of the patient.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from this are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
