Laparoscopic clasp

Abstract

The present invention relates to a laparoscopic clasp (1) that during laparoscopic bowel surgery, grasps the inner part of the small or large intestine abdomen with the curved handles (5 or 6) at the end, allowing the intestines to be held securely, pulling the intestines out of the surgical field and performing surgical suturing, resection and vascular ligation by compressing and / or hanging the intestines in the gap between the handles of the right curved handle (6) by hanging with a hooked needle (7.1) at the end of the surgical suture (7), which is passed through the circular gap (2.1 or 3.1) on the flap (2 or 3) to the anterior abdominal wall, which forms the anterior part of the abdominal cavity and spreads to the anterolateral region of the abdominal wall. Laparoscopic bowel surgery is a technique used in the surgical treatment of abdominal organs by making several small holes, usually 0.5 to 2 cm in width, instead of large incisions, and pipes called trocars are inserted into the patient through the holes and carbon dioxide gas is given to the patient's abdomen through these pipes and the patient's abdomen is inflated. Our invention, together with the spring mechanism (4) between the flaps (2 and 3), provides the capture of the segment of the intestine with the curved handles (5 and 6), and functions after it is closed and opened and fixed by hanging on the anterior abdominal wall (with the help of laparoscopic endograsper and endoclinch) lifted by the pressure generated during abdominal distension.

[0002] LAPAROSCOPIC CLASP

[0003] Field of the Invention

[0004] The present invention relates to a laparoscopic clasp that during laparoscopic bowel surgery by suspending any mobile intestinal segment in the peritonealised anterolateral region of the abdominal wall, forming the anterior part of the abdominal cavity, with a surgical suture (surgical suture thread) passed through a circular space above the flap, grasping the small or large intestine with the end curved handles of the invention, which both securely holds the intestines, allows the intestines to be pulled out of the surgical field, and allows surgical suturing, resection and vascular ligation to be performed by compressing and / or suspending the intestines in the space between the right curved handles.

[0005] Laparoscopic bowel surgery is a technique used in the surgical treatment of abdominal organs by making several small holes, usually 0.5 to 2 cm in width, instead of large incisions, and pipes called trocars are inserted into the patient through the holes and carbon dioxide gas is given to the patient's abdomen through these pipes and the patient's abdomen is inflated. Our invention, with its structure that can be advanced into the abdomen through the trocar incision, the spring mechanism between the atria and the handles with curved structure, functions by closing and opening with the help of endograsper and endoclinch after the pressure generated during abdominal distension.

[0006] State of the Art

[0007] Today, laparoscopic surgery offers a minimally invasive approach, especially in intestinal surgeries, allowing patients to recover faster. In this surgical technique, instead of large incisions as in traditional open surgeries, the patient is treated by opening several small holes, usually 0.5 to 2 cm wide. Tubes called trocars are inserted through these holes to insert surgical instruments and a laparoscope (a small camera). Carbon dioxide gas is administered to the patient's abdominal area through trocars, inflating the abdominal cavity and expanding the surgical area. This inflation process allows surgeons to see the internal organs better and perform more precise interventions.

[0008] One of the biggest challenges in laparoscopic surgery is the placement and fixation of organs in the surgical field. In particular, keeping the intestines stable in the abdominal cavity is of great importance in order to perform the surgical procedure more safely and effectively. In current techniques, along with various methods for fixing the intestines, a second and third surgeon is required for the surgery. However, these methods generally have some limitations due to the narrow surgical area and the motility of the intestines.

[0009] Challenges of Current Techniques:

[0010] Surgical Forceps and Hook Needles:

[0011] Surgical forceps and hooked needles are commonly used tools to secure the intestines. However, these tools can damage intestinal tissue and cause organs to shift during the surgical procedure. Additionally, such instruments can only hold the intestines in a limited area, which may result in the surgical field not being fully optimized.

[0012] Temporary Stitches:

[0013] Temporary stitches can be used to hold the intestines in a particular position, but this method can narrow the surgical field and limit the surgeon's maneuverability. Removing temporary stitches during the operation may require additional time and may cause permanent scars. Inadequate Fixing Mechanisms:

[0014] The fixation mechanisms commonly used in current laparoscopic instruments may not adequately support the fixation of organs in place, especially when inflating the abdomen. The pressure created in the abdominal cavity inflated with carbon dioxide can negatively affect the functionality of surgical instruments and prolong the duration of the surgical procedure.

[0015] Current devices used during laparoscopic surgeries create difficulties in terms of fixing the organs, as well as some difficulties in performing the surgical suturing process. The non-curved or insufficiently gripping structures of existing devices can cause the intestines or other organs to shift, which can make the surgeons' work more difficult.

[0016] Furthermore, existing laparoscopic devices may not be sufficiently resistant to the pressure generated during inflation of the abdominal cavity. The abdominal cavity inflated with carbon dioxide gas can weaken the fixing mechanism of the device and prevent the device from working effectively. This may make it difficult for the surgeon to complete the procedure and prolong the operation time.

[0017] Our invention has been developed to overcome the problems in the above- mentioned existing technique and aims to eliminate the need for a second surgeon during surgery and to accelerate the recovery process of patients by facilitating the work of surgeons by fixing the organs and performing surgical suturing during laparoscopic intestinal surgeries, facilitating the resection process, safely holding the intestines, optimising the surgical field and at the same time with its resistance to intra-abdominal pressure.
