[0028] Working principle:
[0029] When performing minimally invasive surgery for herniated discs and removing the nucleus pulposus, the outer sleeve 2 of the device should be inserted entirely into the surgical wound. The observation probe 20 is removed to capture the internal image, which is then fed back to the external display terminal via the image processing feedback component 10, allowing for a more intuitive display of the internal wound image. Based on the nucleus pulposus position shown in the image, the doctor moves the outer sleeve 2 towards the nucleus pulposus. At this time, the removal clamp 18 is in the open state. Aligning with the target nucleus pulposus, the lifting rod 13 is pulled upwards. The guide rod 7 is lifted upward inside the outer sleeve 2. The limiting ring 16 drives the elastic torsion spring 19 to compress. Under the limiting effect of the limiting hole 15 and the external specifications of the removal clip 18, the removal clip 18 uses the structural characteristics of the elastic torsion springs 19 on both sides to perform opposing closing clamping work, stably clamping and removing the target nucleus pulposus. After the outer sleeve 2 is pulled out of the wound and the target nucleus pulposus is taken out by the removal clip 18, the device is flipped with the power receiving box 1 as the center, and the front end of the repair gun 3 is inserted into the wound to repair and observe the miniature probe. 4. The image of the target annulus fibrosus is captured and fed back to the external display terminal through the image processing feedback component 10, allowing the doctor to observe the location of the annulus fibrosus to be repaired more intuitively. The suture bend needle 22 is passed through one end of the damaged annulus fibrosus, and then the transmission gear 24 is rotated by the external accessories. The meshing connection between the gear and the driven rack 25 drives the suture needle 23 to pass down through the other end of the damaged annulus fibrosus, so that the suture bend needle 22 and the suture needle 23 are aligned and closed. Then the suture trigger 21 is used to suture the annulus fibrosus. The suture is ejected from the threading bend needle 22 and passes through the thread guide needle 23. The thread guide needle 23 is then adjusted upwards, and the repair gun 3 is pulled out of the wound to complete the repair of the annulus fibrosus. The power supply box 1 provides the basic conditions for normal operation of the repair observation miniature probe 4 and the removal observation probe 20. This device enables rapid repair of the annulus fibrosus after nucleus pulposus removal without the need to switch tools. Simply flipping the device itself improves overall work efficiency and enriches its functionality.
