Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electroresection technology, specifically to an electroresection endoscope for bladder tumors. Background Technology

[0002] The electroresection endoscope (ERI) is a minimally invasive surgical instrument consisting of a rigid optical endoscope, a sheath, an electroresection ring, and a control system. It is primarily used for transurethral resection of bladder tumors and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Its core function is to simultaneously perform tissue cutting and coagulation using high-frequency current, and it is equipped with a cold light source system and a real-time image transmission device. As of 2025, the instrument has evolved into both monopolar and bipolar types, each using different distension fluid media to meet diverse clinical needs. In the field of urology, the ERI has become the gold standard for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia due to its advantages such as no external trauma, short operation time (average completion within 1 hour), and the ability to remove the catheter 3-4 days post-surgery.

[0003] An existing application (CN202411958864.4) describes an electrosurgical resectoscope. This resectoscope includes an inner sheath assembly, an outer sheath assembly, and an operating assembly. The outer sheath tube protrudes outward from the side furthest from the outer sheath body, forming a bulge, and has several evenly spaced through holes. The end of the inner sheath tube is connected to a tube head extending to the outside of the outer sheath tube. Furthermore, the outer sheath tube has corrugations, and the upper and lower sides of the outer sheath body have a first interface and a second interface, respectively. The inner and outer sheath bodies are connected by a first quick-release assembly. The operating assembly includes a first handle and a second handle, and is quickly assembled and disassembled using a second and a third quick-release assembly. This application achieves the effects of improving surgical flexibility, reducing tissue damage, and simplifying instrument cleaning and maintenance. However, the aforementioned electrosurgical resectoscope requires the electrosurgical blade to be fixed below the endoscope and connected to the operating device before being installed into the inner sheath. This structure suffers from inconvenient assembly and affects surgical efficiency. In addition, the manipulator controls the movement of both the endoscope and the electrosurgical blade simultaneously, which significantly interferes with the surgical procedure. To address these issues, a bladder tumor electrosurgical resection endoscope is needed. Summary of the Invention
