Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a duodenal papillary sphincter cutter with pressure measurement function. Background Technology

[0002] Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an important surgical procedure for treating diseases such as common bile duct stones, obstructive jaundice, acute pancreatitis, bile duct stricture, and bile leakage. It offers advantages such as less trauma, faster recovery, and high repeatability. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is a key technique in therapeutic ERCP. By incising the duodenal papillary sphincter, it can relieve papillary sphincter stricture, facilitating stone removal and the placement of biliary stents and other accessories.

[0003] EST also carries certain complications. If the duodenal papillary sphincter incision is too small, it hinders stone removal and accessory placement, leading to a higher incidence of postoperative pancreatitis. Conversely, if the duodenal papillary sphincter incision is too large, the incidence of postoperative bleeding and bile leakage is higher, and damage to the biliary duct's closure can even lead to reflux cholangitis, bile duct stones, and bile duct cancer. Therefore, the size of the EST has always been a research topic for clinical endoscopists. Currently, EST is mainly divided into three types: large incision, medium incision, and small incision. However, there is significant individual variation in the size of the duodenal papillary sphincter, and the incidence of postoperative complications varies depending on the degree of incision. There is currently no unified standard for EST to address this individual variation.

[0004] The sphincter of Oddi is an important structure for maintaining the closure of the bile duct. Factors such as hypertrophy, stenosis, and excessive length of the sphincter of Oddi can lead to increased pressure in the bile and pancreatic ducts. Conversely, relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi and a large EST can lead to decreased pressure in the pancreatic and bile ducts. Therefore, bile and pancreatic duct pressure is an important indicator of the closure of the bile and pancreatic ducts, and the size of the EST can be determined by measuring the bile and pancreatic duct pressure.

[0005] Currently, biliary and pancreatic manometry mainly uses water irrigation. A manometry catheter with a side hole is inserted through a duodenoscope. Water flows out of the side hole at a constant low speed (0.15–0.40 mL / min) through the irrigation system. The resistance that the water needs to overcome when overflowing is the local pressure. This pressure is transmitted through the water column to an external pressure transducer and converted into an electrical signal. After processing by a recorder and computer, a graphical and numerical value can be obtained. Depending on the type of catheter, manometry can be divided into: water irrigation catheters, aspirable fluid irrigation catheters, and cuff-type manometry catheters. Because water irrigation manometry measures indirect pressure, its accuracy is low, and the operation is complex with a high rate of postoperative complications. Therefore, few hospitals in China have adopted this method, and its development has been slow. Miniature sensor manometry is a new direct manometry method that has emerged abroad in recent years. It does not require a water irrigation system, is simpler to operate, and provides more accurate measurement data. This method uses a solid-state manometry catheter and is mainly used in urology to measure renal pelvis pressure during cystoscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Currently, there are no solid-state manometry catheters applicable to the biliary and pancreatic system. Even with the availability of endoscopic bile and pancreatic manometry catheters, it is impossible to monitor changes in bile duct pressure in real time during EST incision. Determining the size of the duodenal papillary sphincter incision through EST-manometry-EST is a cumbersome procedure. Utility Model Content

[0045] Use of this utility model:

[0046] (1) Do not use drugs that affect the bile duct and SO for 2 days before the operation, such as scopolamine bromide, nitroglycerin, etc. Fast for 12 hours before the operation.

[0047] (2) Before the operation, oral lidocaine or dacronin gel was administered to the oropharyngeal mucosa. The patient was in the same position as in ERCP, lying prone on the left side, biting down on the mouth and receiving oxygen via nasal cannula.

[0048] (3) The examination is performed by a skilled physician. After the duodenoscope is inserted into the digestive tract, the endoscope is straightened to locate the main duodenal papilla.

[0049] (4) The scalpel with guide wire was inserted into the common bile duct and a small amount of contrast agent was injected to confirm that it was the common bile duct.

[0050] (5) The incision knife is inserted into the upper part of the common bile duct and the pressure is recorded after the pressure curve stabilizes.

[0051] (6) Pull the cutting blade back, withdrawing 1-2 mm each time, and measure the pressure at each point for 30-60 seconds.
