Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to a bile reinfusion T-tube that can be inserted under direct visualization with laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy. Background Technology

[0002] Current laparoscopic combined with choledochoscopy techniques are performed under direct vision, with real-time imaging, accurate positioning, and fewer complications. Blind placement, however, lacks visual guidance and relies on touch and experience, easily leading to problems such as catheter deviation, tissue damage, and low success rates. For example, the catheter may become coiled within the bile duct, preventing smooth entry into the duodenum and hindering bile reinfusion; inaccurate positioning, perforation risk, and numerous postoperative complications also exist. Blind placement relies on the surgeon's experience and tactile feedback, rigidly pushing the catheter using a metal guidewire (0.8-1.2mm in diameter).

[0003] One existing technology for bile reinfusion T-tubes that can be inserted under direct visualization with laparoscopy and choledochoscopy has significant limitations and poor practicality. It lacks real-time image monitoring, the movement trajectory of the catheter tip is uncontrollable, and the catheter position is determined solely by the feeling of resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing technologies, such as the lack of real-time video monitoring, uncontrollable movement trajectory of the catheter tip, and the limitation of judging the catheter position solely by resistance, resulting in poor practicality. In response, this invention proposes a bile reinfusion T-tube that can be inserted under direct visualization with laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a bile reinfusion T-tube that can be inserted under direct visualization with laparoscopy and choledochoscopy, comprising a T-tube body, a secondary tube installed inside the T-tube body, one end of the secondary tube penetrating the T-tube body, an outlet tube fixed to one end of the T-tube body, a connecting tube installed at the end of the outlet tube away from the T-tube body, and a filter frame installed inside the connecting tube.

[0006] Preferably, a collar is fixed on the outer wall of the T-tube body, and adhesive tapes are fixed at both ends of the outer wall of the collar.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the filter frame is fixed with a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is fixed to the connecting pipe by a second bolt.

[0008] Preferably, a handle is fixed on the outer wall of the filter frame, and one end of the connecting pipe has an opening that matches the filter frame.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded sleeve is fixed to the end of the connecting pipe away from the outlet pipe, and a sealing plate is fixed to one end of the main body of the T-tube on the outer wall of the secondary tube.

[0010] Preferably, the outer walls of the opposite ends of the outlet pipe and the connecting pipe are both fixed with flanges, and the two flanges are fixed together by the first bolt.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, the bile reinfusion T-tube uses a secondary tube as a guidewire channel. Under direct visualization with laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy, it is inserted approximately 15 cm into the duodenum via the bile duct, allowing bile or nutrient solution to be injected to meet nutritional needs. The surgical field is established through laparoscopy, and the tube is inserted through a bile duct incision using choledochoscopy. The entire procedure is visualized under dual-scope guidance. During use, the secondary tube serves as a zebra guidewire channel, inserted under direct visualization with laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy. Guided by the zebra guidewire, it is inserted into the duodenum via the common bile duct, achieving a 100% success rate. A threaded connection to the drainage bag ensures a closed reinfusion effect, enabling real-time image feedback and dynamic adjustment of the catheter's direction. Simultaneous procedures such as stone removal and stenosis dilation can be performed. Attached Figure Description
