[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0030] The utility model discloses an under novel direct vision gallbladder duct calculus removing forceps, including calculus removing forceps 1, the calculus removing forceps 1 is by the first forceps body 11 and the second forceps body 12 of cross arrangement, the first forceps body 11 and the second forceps body 12 mutual cross parts are rotationally connected, make in control first forceps body 11 and second forceps body 12 end position mutual after folding back can drive first forceps body 11 and the mutual folding of second forceps body 12 front end part, the end of first forceps body 11 and second forceps body 12 is provided with the holding ring 13 that the operator's finger is inserted and held to control the whole calculus removing forceps 1, the holding ring 13 and respective corresponding first forceps body 11 and second forceps body 12 are integral type design, the front end of first forceps body 11 and second forceps body 12 is provided with the calculus removing part 2 that can take the calculus in gallbladder duct and is symmetrical, the calculus removing part 2 on the front end of first forceps body 11 and second forceps body 12 is provided with drainage port 3 and micro video camera 4 respectively,
[0031] In use, the operator can insert the fingers into the holding ring 13 to hold and control the end parts of the first forceps body 11 and the second forceps body 12, when the two holding rings 13 at the ends of the first forceps body 11 and the second forceps body 12 are separated to the two sides respectively, the first forceps body 11 and the second forceps body 12 can be staggered in a cross shape, and the two calculus removing parts 2 at the front ends are staggered and unfolded, so as to clamp the calculus in the gallbladder duct, wherein the drainage port 3 provided on the calculus removing part 2 can be connected with the working end of the flushing equipment with the negative pressure suction function, during the calculus removing process, the micro video camera 4 on the calculus removing part 2 can take real-time images of the inside of the gallbladder duct, so as to realize the direct vision condition of the gallbladder duct to the inside of the gallbladder duct, so that the operator can observe the inside of the gallbladder duct according to the display matched with the micro video camera 4, so as to judge the specific position of the calculus in the gallbladder duct, so that the operator can accurately judge the position of the calculus and remove the calculus by using the clamping function of the two calculus removing parts 2, thereby effectively reducing the operation difficulty of the whole calculus removing surgery.
[0032] In further preferred embodiments, referring to Figs. 1-4, Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the calculus removing part 2 is in the shape of a cuboid, and a calculus removing groove 21 in a horizontal state is arranged on the calculus removing part 2 and penetrates through the inside and outside of the calculus removing part 2; the outside of the calculus removing part 2 on the first forceps body 11 and the second forceps body 12 is in the shape of a circular arc, and the inside of the calculus removing part 2 is in the shape of a flat surface 22, so that the calculus removing part 2 at the front end of the first forceps body 11 and the calculus removing part 2 at the front end of the second forceps body 12 can form a cylindrical structure after being combined with each other, and the front end of each calculus removing part 2 is in the shape of a circular arc;
[0033] In current clinical surgery, the design of the jaws of existing stone retrieval forceps is not ideal for stone removal. For some stones that are brittle or irregularly shaped, the stones are prone to breakage and falling off during the grasping process, making it difficult to remove the stones completely. This increases the risk of stone residue, which may lead to postoperative complications and affect the patient's recovery.
[0034] Therefore, this patent application provides a stone-removing groove 21 on the stone-removing component 2, so that when the inner sides of the two stone-removing components 2 are in contact with the stone, the stone-removing groove 21 area on the stone-removing component 2 allows the two stone-removing components 2 to come together to clamp the stone, and the stone can be transferred into the stone-removing groove 21 area as the inner sides of the two stone-removing components 2 are covered.
[0035] When dealing with brittle or irregularly shaped stones, the flat design of the inner side of the tip of the existing stone tongs 1 makes it very easy for brittle stones to break when grasped by the tongs 1. Therefore...
[0036] The stone retrieval groove 21 provided on the inner side of the stone retrieval component 2 in this patent application allows the stone to be placed and serves as a temporary storage area, thereby preventing the stone from being crushed due to compression in areas of the stone retrieval component 2 where the stone retrieval groove 21 is not provided, which would result in broken stone residue remaining in the bile duct and affect the entire stone retrieval process.
[0037] The inner surface of the stone-removing component 2 is a flat surface 22. After the two stone-removing components 2 have completed the removal of the stone, they can adhere to each other and completely merge together. This allows the stone-removing groove 21 area on the two stone-removing components 2 to be used for stone placement. As the stone is placed into the stone-removing groove 21, the inner surfaces of the two merged stone-removing components 2 can block the edge of the stone-removing groove 21, thereby encapsulating the stone in the stone-removing groove 21 and preventing the stone from falling out of the stone-removing groove 21 when it is removed.
[0038] Secondly, the outer surfaces of the stone-removing components 2 on the first clamp body 11 and the second clamp body 12 are both arc-shaped, and the front end of each stone-removing component 2 is also arc-shaped. This allows the stone-removing components 2 at the front end of the first clamp body 11 and the stone-removing components 2 at the front end of the second clamp body 12 to form a cylindrical structure. The resulting cylindrical structure has a rounded shape and no discontinuous protrusions, which makes it easier to perform surgical operations in the bile duct.
[0039] In a further preferred embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figures 4 to 6As shown, the middle section of the stone retrieval groove 21 is rectangular 23, and the two ends of the stone retrieval groove 21 are semi-circular 24, making the stone retrieval groove 21 resemble a racetrack-shaped column. The shape and structure of the jaws on the existing stone retrieval pliers 1 are difficult to adapt to stones of various sizes and shapes. If the inner gripping surface of the stone retrieval pliers 1 is a flat structure, it can only grip the outer surface of the stone. When gripping some irregularly shaped stones, it is very easy for the stone to fall off the jaws of the stone retrieval pliers 1. This patent application designs the stone retrieval groove 21 as a racetrack-shaped column structure, so that the two ends of the stone retrieval groove 21 can correspond to the front arc surface of the stone retrieval component 2, and maximize the space for the stone retrieval groove 21 inside the stone retrieval component 2.
[0040] In a further preferred embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figure 4 As shown, a blocking member 25 is provided around the inner wall of the stone-collecting groove 21 on the stone-collecting component 2. The outer edge of the blocking member 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stone-collecting groove 21 on the stone-collecting component 2. The blocking member 25 is tightly attached to the outer side of the stone-collecting component 2 inside the stone-collecting groove 21, so that the blocking member 25 can form a closed state for the part of the stone-collecting groove 21 near the outer side of the stone-collecting component 2.
[0041] The blocking component 25 can block the part of the stone retrieval groove 21 near the outside of the stone retrieval component 2, so that after the two stone retrieval components 2 are combined, the space of the stone retrieval groove 21 inside is not exposed, which can be used to pick up some stone fragments, thereby preventing stone fragments from leaking out of the stone retrieval groove 21 on the stone retrieval component 2.
[0042] Secondly, refer to the appendix Figure 5 and 6 As shown, a through groove 26 can be provided in the middle of the blocking member 25 so that the overall shape of the blocking member 25 matches the shape of the stone retrieval groove 21. When picking up some stones that are not easily broken and have sharp points on the surface, the through groove 26 in the middle of the blocking member 25 can allow the sharp points on the stones in the stone retrieval groove 21 to be stuck in the through groove 26, so as to better pick up and fix such stones, and thus facilitate the smooth removal of stones.
[0043] In a further preferred embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and 3As shown, the drainage port 3 extends from the front end of the stone-removing component 2 through the first clamp body 11 to the end holding ring 13, and exits from the end of the holding ring 13, so that the stone-removing component 2, the corresponding first clamp body 11, and the drainage port 3 inside the holding ring 13 are interconnected to form a channel for airflow and liquid flow. The drainage port 3 at the end of the holding ring 13 is connected to a drainage pipe 31, the end of which can be connected to the working port of a rinsing device with suction function. The miniature camera 4 is located at the front end of the stone-removing component 2 on the second clamp body 12, and a lighting lamp 41 matching the miniature camera 4 is provided on one side of the stone-removing component 2. The miniature camera 4 is equipped with a matching display and power system. The power cords of the miniature camera 4 and the lighting lamp 41 exit from the inside of the stone-removing component 2 through the end of the second clamp body 12 and the holding ring 13 and are electrically connected to the matching display and power system.
[0044] During stone removal, the interior of the bile duct can be illuminated by the lighting lamp 41, which also provides a light source for the camera end of the miniature camera 4. Since there is secretion inside the bile duct, the flushing fluid can be injected into the stone area by activating the flushing device during stone removal. This flushes the area, removes secretions from the stone surface, and allows the stone to be unobstructed and better captured by the miniature camera 4, enabling the operator to accurately determine the location of the stone. After flushing, the negative pressure suction function of the flushing device can be activated to promptly remove the flushing fluid mixed with secretions, thereby improving the cleanliness of the stone removal area within the bile duct.
[0045] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
