TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to medical instrument technical field especially, relate to a thyroid mirror operation with drag hook device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Endoscopic thyroid surgery is the main progress in the field of thyroid surgery in the past 20 years. With the update of endoscopic equipment, energy instruments and the improvement of surgical techniques, this technology is increasingly widely used. Endoscopic thyroid surgery realizes the minimization and beautification of thyroid surgery incision, meets the beauty needs of patients and reduces the psychological pressure of patients. At the same time, by using the magnification effect of endoscope and the fine operation under endoscope, important structures such as recurrent laryngeal nerve, superior laryngeal nerve and parathyroid gland can be better identified and protected, surgical complications can be reduced and the quality of life can be improved. According to whether CO2 inflation is used, the surgical method can be classified into inflation method and inflation-free method. According to the incision position, the main surgical methods at present include subclavian approach, chest and breast approach, axillary approach, transoral approach and double breast halo and double axillary approach (BABA), etc. Each surgical method has its advantages and disadvantages.

[0003] The inflation-free method mainly relies on the drag hook to assist in establishing the channel and exposing the visual field. Since the units currently carrying out the subclavian endoscopic surgery are relatively few, there is a significant lack of related instruments specifically for this surgery, especially instruments for assisting in establishing the channel and exposing the visual field, which to some extent increases the difficulty of the surgery, increases the operation time and the risk of complications. Therefore, it is a key problem to be solved to design and improve the subclavian endoscopic surgery instruments. The drag hooks used in the current surgery include upper drag hooks and side drag hooks. The upper drag hook is fixed on the operating table by a fixed frame, the position of the upper drag hook is adjusted left and right by adjusting the sliding block, and the drag hook is adjusted up and down by rotating the screw rod. However, when the doctor needs to make fine adjustments forward and backward or left and right, the drag hook needs to be removed by rotating the screw rod, and then fine adjustments left and right or forward and backward are made. This adjustment method is not convenient for the doctor to quickly complete the fine adjustment. Because of the different body sizes of each person, the depth length of the upper drag hook required is different, and different lengths of the upper drag hook need to be selected according to the needs of the surgery. The length of the upper drag hook cannot be freely adjusted according to the needs. At present, many drag hooks on the market need to be purchased in three types of long, medium and short, which increases the difficulty of the surgery and the cost of the surgical department. The existing side drag hook is manually pulled apart from the side by medical staff to increase the surgical exposure field. However, most of the existing side drag hook handles are integrally formed with the drag hook end, the handle and the drag hook end are the same size, which affects the surgical field of view of the doctor during surgery, and is not conducive to the implementation of the surgery.
