Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of endoscopes, and in particular to a ureteropelvic endoscope with flushing and suction functions. Background Art

[0002] The treatment of kidney stones has shifted from traditional open surgery to minimally invasive techniques, among which endoscopic techniques (such as ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, etc.) have become the core means due to their precision and low trauma.

[0003] The existing stone removal methods mainly use stone removal baskets and negative pressure suction. However, since the stone removal baskets need to be pulled out of the guide sheath multiple times, there are still limitations for small stone particles, so negative pressure suction has gradually become dominant. The existing method of using negative pressure suction is basically to use an external negative pressure device to remove stones. During laser lithotripsy, small stones are discharged through the floating gap formed by the endoscope and the suction sheath.

[0004] Chinese patent application number 202411768232.1 discloses an insertion assembly and an endoscope handle. Through the cooperation of the insertion assembly and the instrument tube, when stones are blocked in the flow gap, the doctor controls the instrument tube to move axially toward the proximal end of the insertion tube. During the movement of the instrument tube, the posture of the stones blocked in the flow gap will change, thereby dredging the flow gap so that the stones can be discharged smoothly.

[0005] However, for larger stones, the endoscope still needs to be slowly withdrawn and the stones need to be sucked out with the help of the guide sheath. For cases with a large number of stones, the number of times the endoscope is withdrawn increases significantly, and the endoscope repeatedly rubs the ureteral wall through the sheath, which may cause mucosal edema, bleeding or false passage formation, causing secondary damage to the patient's body. In addition, the stone or target area needs to be repositioned each time the endoscope is withdrawn, and repeated adjustments of the endoscope significantly increase the time taken for the operation.

[0006] To this end, the present invention proposes a ureteropelvic endoscope with flushing and suction to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, during the gravel cleaning process, the flexible endoscope can also accurately locate the position of the gravel, reducing the number of times the endoscope needs to be withdrawn and shortening the operation time. In addition, when the instrument channel begins to perform negative pressure suction, the electromagnetic control component drives one set of moving blocks and connecting rings in the anti-blocking assembly to form a seal, and the switching component simultaneously connects the corresponding water inlet channel with the instrument channel, thereby causing the water inlet channel to contract under the action of negative pressure. At this time, the volume of the instrument channel and the free clearance formed by the flexible endoscope and the guide sheath can be expanded. This not only reduces the problem of gravel blocking during rolling, but also allows the outer wall of the flexible endoscope and the inner wall of the instrument channel to dredge the blocked gravel under the alternating contraction of the water inlet channel, thereby reducing the risk of stone blockage.

[0049] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] Although existing negative pressure suction lithotripsy endoscopes can significantly improve surgical efficiency compared to stone removal baskets, for larger stones, the endoscope still needs to be slowly withdrawn and used with an introducer sheath to absorb the stones. When the number of stones is large, the number of withdrawals of the endoscope increases significantly. If the endoscope repeatedly passes through the sheath of the introducer sheath and rubs against the ureteral wall, it may cause mucosal edema, bleeding, or false passage formation. In addition, the stone or target area needs to be repositioned each time the endoscope is withdrawn, and repeated adjustments of the endoscope significantly increase the time required for surgery. This embodiment is specially invented to solve the above problems.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a ureteropelvic endoscope with integrated flushing and suction according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a handle 1 and a flexible endoscope 2. A water inlet interface 11 and a water extraction interface 12 are respectively provided on one side of the handle 1. A connecting tube 3 matching the water inlet interface 11 is provided inside the handle 1, and one end of the flexible endoscope 2 is located inside the connecting tube 3.

[0053] The soft mirror 2 includes an instrument channel 21 and two symmetrically arranged water inlet channels 22. The connecting tube 3 and the soft mirror 2 are provided with mutually cooperating fluid circulation structures. The fluid circulation structure enables the fluid to flow in the instrument channel 21 and the water inlet channel 22 and form a positive and negative pressure fluid circulation.

[0054] An anti-blocking component 4 is provided in the soft mirror 2. When the water pumping interface 12 pumps water, the anti-blocking component 4 can make the two water inlet channels 22 alternately connected with the instrument channel 21 so that the corresponding water inlet channels 22 shrink under negative pressure, thereby making it difficult for gravel to be blocked in the instrument channel 21.

[0055] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting tube 3 has a first interface end 31 and a second interface end 32. The first interface end 31 is connected to the transparent cup 5 provided on the handle 1, and the second interface end 32 is connected to the clamp opening 13 provided on the handle 1. The transparent cup 5 is connected to the water pumping interface 12 through a pipeline.

[0056] The fluid circulation structure includes a main channel 33 opened in the connecting tube 3, the soft mirror 2 is coaxially fixed with the main channel 33, three sealing grooves 34 are opened in the main channel 33, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove 34. The three sealing grooves 34 divide the main channel 33 into a water inlet chamber 35 and a water pumping chamber 36. The side walls of the two water inlet channels 22 are respectively provided with water inlet holes 221 connected to the water inlet chamber 35. The side wall of the water inlet chamber 35 is provided with a connecting tube 3 that cooperates with the water inlet interface 11. The connecting tube 3 and the water inlet interface 11 are connected by a hose. The side wall of the instrument channel 21 is provided with a connecting groove 211 connected to the water pumping chamber 36. Physiological saline enters the water inlet chamber 35 from the water inlet interface 11, the hose and the connecting tube 3, and enters the renal pelvis through the water inlet hole 221 and the two water inlet channels 22.

[0057] The first interface end 31 and the second interface end 32 are respectively provided with a first flow channel 311 and a second flow channel 321 connected to the pumping chamber 36. When performing lithotripsy, the laser filament of the holmium laser is directly inserted into the instrument channel 21 through the forceps opening 13, the second flow channel 321 and the connecting groove 211. After the lithotripsy is completed, the negative pressure device of the endoscope is started, and the gravel in the renal pelvis broken by the laser enters the instrument channel 21 under negative pressure suction, and enters the transparent cup 5 through the connecting groove 211 and the first flow channel 311. The transparent cup 5 is provided with a filter to filter the gravel, and the liquid in the transparent cup 5 is discharged through the pipeline and the pumping interface 12.

[0058] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a trigger 14 and a lever 15 are provided on one side of the handle 1 , a connecting wire 16 cooperating with the lever 15 is provided inside the handle 1 , and both ends of the connecting wire 16 are fixedly connected to the end of the soft mirror 2 away from the handle 1 .

[0059] The water inlet interface 11 and the water pumping interface 12 are respectively connected to positive and negative pressure devices. A contact piece 17 that cooperates with the trigger 14 is provided in the handle 1. The contact piece 17 is connected to the electrical signals of the positive and negative pressure devices. The rotation of the trigger 14 can control the fluid circulation volume of the water inlet interface 11 and the water pumping interface 12.

[0060] During use, the doctor sequentially inserts the guide sheath and the endoscope into the renal pelvis through the ureter, and controls the positive pressure device by pulling the trigger 14 to allow physiological saline to enter the renal pelvis through the connecting tube 3 and the soft endoscope 2. The laser filament of the holmium laser is then directly inserted into the instrument channel 21 through the forceps opening 13, the second flow channel 321 and the connecting groove 211, and the stones are crushed by laser in conjunction with the camera provided on the soft endoscope 2.

[0061] During laser crushing, the negative pressure device connected to the guide sheath is activated, and the fine stone particles are discharged to the outside through the floating gap between the endoscope and the guide sheath. When all the stones are crushed, the laser wire is withdrawn and the forceps opening 13 is closed. The operator controls the activation of the negative pressure device through the trigger 14. A part of the stone is sucked into the transparent cup 5 through the instrument channel 21 and the first flow channel 311 under negative pressure. The operator can intuitively see the stone in the transparent cup 5, and the liquid in the transparent cup 5 is discharged through the hose and the water pumping interface 12.

[0062] In summary, through the arrangement of instrument channel 21, water inlet channel 22, and connecting tube 3, after laser lithotripsy is completed, the laser filament is withdrawn, and the negative pressure device connected to the flexible endoscope 2 enables it to suction the lithotripsy. This, combined with the guide sheath, achieves a dual suction effect, improving lithotripsy removal efficiency. Furthermore, during the lithotripsy removal process, the flexible endoscope 2 can be used to precisely locate the lithotripsy, reducing the number of endoscope withdrawals and the duration of the procedure.

[0063] In addition, the integrated connecting tube 3 can effectively reduce the number of connection points between the water inlet interface 11, the water extraction interface 12 and the transparent cup 5, making the installation of the endoscope more efficient; and the laser wire can be directly inserted into the instrument channel 21 through the clamp opening 13 and the second flow channel 321, avoiding the problem of blockage of the laser wire during the insertion process.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] As can be seen from the above embodiment, lithotripsy is primarily performed in two steps: first, during the holmium laser lithotripsy process, the negative pressure device connected to the guide sheath is activated to draw tiny lithotripsy away from the free space between the endoscope and the guide sheath; second, after the holmium laser lithotripsy is complete, the doctor removes the laser filament from the endoscope 2 and activates the negative pressure device connected to the endoscope, causing the lithotripsy to enter the free space and the instrument channel 21 of the endoscope 2. However, at this point, the lithotripsy is numerous and large in size, and some of the lithotripsy can easily clog the free space or instrument channel 21 during tumbling, requiring clearing, which can hinder the smooth progress of the procedure. Further improvements have been made based on the above embodiment.

[0066] See also Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the end of the soft endoscope 2 away from the handle 1 is fixedly connected to a connector 6 that matches it. The connector 6 is provided with a through hole and two connecting holes 61 that match the instrument channel 21 and the water inlet channel 22 respectively.

[0067] The anti-blocking component 4 includes two connecting rings 41 fixedly connected to the water inlet hole 221, and a moving block 42 is slidably connected to the two connecting holes 61 to form a sealing fit therewith. A water flow groove 43 is provided on the moving block 42, and an elastic member 44 is provided between the connecting ring 41 and the moving block 42. A positioning wire 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the two moving blocks 42. When the positioning wire 45 moves along the axial direction of the soft lens 2, it can form a seal or release the seal between the moving block 42 and the connecting ring 41.

[0068] In the initial state, the two moving blocks 42 and the connecting ring 41 are both in the unsealed state, and physiological saline can enter the renal pelvis through the water channel 43 and the connecting ring 41 .

[0069] See also Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, bypass holes 222 connected to the instrument channel 21 are respectively opened on the inner walls of the two water inlet channels 22, and the bypass holes 222 and the water inlet holes 221 are staggered, and switching parts 7 fixedly connected to the positioning wire 45 are respectively provided in the two water inlet channels 22. When the switching parts 7 move along the axial direction of the soft mirror 2, the water inlet channel 22 is connected to the water inlet chamber 35 or the instrument channel 21. When the water inlet channel 22 is connected to the water inlet chamber 35, the bypass hole 222 and the instrument channel 21 are in a closed state. Otherwise, the water inlet channel 22 and the water inlet chamber 35 are closed.

[0070] Since the soft mirror 2 is extruded, both ends of it are open, so it is necessary to seal the end of the soft mirror 2 located inside the handle 1. The end of the soft mirror 2 located inside the handle 1 is fixedly connected to a sealing block 8, which can form a seal between the instrument channel 21 and the two water inlet channels 22. The two positioning wires 45 extend out of the sealing block 8 at one end and are connected to the same electromagnetic control component 9, which can drive the two positioning wires 45 to slide alternately along the axial direction of the soft mirror 2.

[0071] See also Figure 12 As shown, the switching member 7 includes a connecting tube 71 that is slidingly connected to the water inlet channel 22. The connecting tube 71 is a cylindrical structure with a single-side opening. The connecting tube 71 has an outer side surface and an inner side surface. An outer hole 72 matching the water inlet hole 221 is provided on the outer side surface, and an inner hole 73 matching the bypass hole 222 is provided on the inner side surface.

[0072] It should be noted that the surfaces and inner walls of the connecting tube 71 and the flexible lens 2 are coated with a lubricating coating.

[0073] See also Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the electromagnetic control component 9 includes a connecting rod 91 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the handle 1, one end of the connecting rod 91 is fixedly connected to a connecting disk 92, two positioning wires 45 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting disk 92, an electromagnet 93 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handle 1, a permanent magnet plate 94 is coaxially slidably connected to the connecting rod 91, a limiter matching the permanent magnet plate 94 is provided on the inner wall of the handle 1, an elastic reset component 95 is provided between the permanent magnet plate 94 and the connecting disk 92, a threaded track 96 is provided on the connecting rod 91, and a connecting block matching the threaded track 96 is provided on the permanent magnet plate 94.

[0074] In this embodiment, the limiting member includes a limiting rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handle 1, and a limiting block matching the limiting rod is provided on one side of the permanent magnet plate 94. When the permanent magnet plate 94 moves along the axial direction of the connecting rod 91, the limiting rod and the limiting block can limit the rotation of the permanent magnet plate 94, so that the permanent magnet plate 94 can drive the connecting rod 91 to rotate under the action of the spiral track and the connecting block when it moves.

[0075] A power signal line is provided on one side of the handle 1 , and the electromagnet 93 is electrically connected to the power signal line. When the negative pressure device connected to the water pumping interface 12 is started, the electromagnet 93 can be energized periodically.

[0076] On the basis of the above embodiment, when laser lithotripsy is performed, the two moving blocks 42 and the connecting ring 41 are not sealed. When the laser lithotripsy is completed and the operator controls the start of the negative pressure device through the trigger 14, the electromagnet 93 and the negative pressure device are started at the same time. The permanent magnet plate 94 overcomes the elastic reset member 95 under the repulsion of the magnetic force and moves toward the direction of the rotating disk. Under the action of the threaded track 96 and the connecting block, the connecting disk 92 rotates and causes the two positioning wires 45 to move in opposite directions, thereby achieving a loose and tight effect.

[0077] When the positioning wire 45 corresponding to one of the moving blocks 42 is in a relaxed state, the moving block 42 approaches the connecting ring 41 under the action of the elastic member 44 and forms a seal with it, and the corresponding switching member 7 slides in the water inlet channel 22, and connects the bypass hole 222 with the instrument channel 21 and closes the water inlet hole 221 and the water inlet chamber 35. At this time, the instrument channel 21 is in a negative pressure suction state, and the water inlet channel 22 connected to the instrument channel 21 gradually shrinks under the action of negative pressure.

[0078] As mentioned above, the electromagnet 93 is energized periodically. When the electromagnet 93 is de-energized, the permanent magnet plate 94 is reset under the action of the elastic reset member 95 and causes the rotating disk to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the contracted water inlet channel 22 is connected to the water inlet chamber 35, and the moving block 42 in the other water inlet channel 22 forms a seal with the connecting ring 41 and begins to contract under the negative pressure of the instrument channel 21, thereby causing the two water inlet channels 22 to contract alternately.

[0079] To sum up, through the settings of the electromagnetic control component 9, the switching component 7 and the anti-blocking component 4, when the instrument channel 21 starts to perform negative pressure suction, the electromagnetic control component 9 drives one group of moving blocks 42 and the connecting ring 41 in the anti-blocking component 4 to form a seal, and the switching component 7 synchronously connects the corresponding water inlet channel 22 with the instrument channel 21, thereby causing the water inlet channel 22 to shrink under the action of negative pressure. At this time, the volume of the instrument channel 21 and the moving gap formed by the soft mirror 2 and the guide sheath can be expanded, which can not only reduce the problem of blockage of gravel during rolling, but also allow the outer wall of the soft mirror 2 and the inner wall of the instrument channel 21 to dredge the blocked gravel under the alternating contraction of the water inlet channel 22, thereby further reducing the risk of stone blockage.

[0080] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
