A surgical instrument comprises a first elongated member and a second elongated member, the first elongated member and the second elongated member being operatively connected and configured to rotate in opposite directions to substantially limit counter torque. The first and second elongated members are flexible shafts. The surgical instrument can be configured to apply fasteners to a tissue portion. This embodiment of the surgical instrument includes a cartridge having a plurality of fasteners, an anvil, said anvil and cartridge being relatively movable between spaced and approximated positions, and a sled disposed in the cartridge. The sled includes a cam member. The cam member is designed to drive the fasteners through tissue and toward the anvil.

Exemplary embodiments of devices and method for affecting at least one anatomical tissue can be provided. A configuration can be provided that includes a structure which is expandable (i) having and / or (ii) forming at least one opening or a working space through which the anatomical tissue(s) is placed in the structure. For example, the structure, prior to being expanding, can have at least one partially rigid portion. In addition, or as an alternative, upon a partial or complete expansion thereof, the structure can be controllable to have a plurality of shapes. Further, the structure can be controllable to provide the working space with multiple shapes and / or multiple sizes.

A duel lumen catheter is provided for use in minimally invasive surgery. The catheter generally includes a first tube defining an operative lumen and a second tube terminating proximally of the first tube and defining an inflation lumen. In one embodiment, the first and second tubes are concentric. In an alternative embodiment, the first and second tubes are separate and extend parallel to each other. The first and second tubes are provided with inflation ports adjacent their respective distal ends. There is also provided a method for performing minimally invasive surgery by inserting the catheter through the esophagus of a patient, insufflating the stomach and performing a surgical operation through the catheter and external to the stomach.

Disclosed is an endoluminal surgery instrument, comprising an operating device (1) and a handle (2). The operating device (1) comprises an operating portion (11) and a connecting portion (12). The handle (2) is provided with a connecting rod (3), the connecting rod (3) has a tip portion, and the tip portion of the connecting rod (3) is connected to the operating device (1). The connecting rod (3) comprises a hollow sleeve rod (31) and a core rod (32) movably arranged in the sleeve rod (31), and the core rod (32) can be controlled to stay in different positions by means of operating the handle (2) so as to enable the operating device (1) to open or close. During an operation, the operating device (1) is placed in a lumen (D) via an incision (B), the tip portion of the connecting rod (3) enters the lumen (D) along a puncture point and is fixedly connected to the connecting portion (12) of the operating device (1), and the handle (2) is then operated in vitro such that the operating portion (11) can be controlled to implement a corresponding surgical operation. The diameter of the tip portion of the connecting rod (3) is less than 3 mm, such that the puncture point does not need to be stitched up, thereby reducing injury to the body of a patient. Moreover, since the operating device (1) can be detached from the handle (2), the size of the operating device (1) is not limited by the diameter of the connecting rod (3), such that it is possible to perform the surgical operation in vitro more conveniently.

An intracavity surgical system is disclosed, which includes an operating device, a connecting rod and a handle. Wherein, the operating device includes an operating instrument and a connecting portion. During the operation, the operating device is placed in the cavity through the incision, and then the tip of the connecting rod enters the cavity along the puncture point and is fixedly connected with the connecting part of the operating device, and the other end of the external connecting rod is fixedly connected with the handle, and then through the The handle controls and adjusts the operating instrument outside the body to achieve the corresponding surgical operation. The invention can reduce the damage to the patient's body, and at the same time, it can more conveniently perform the operation outside the body and improve the success rate of the operation.

The present application provides a transverse stapler for intraluminal surgery, comprising a control member, a clamping push rod assembly, a positioning needle push rod assembly, a positioning needle driving assembly and a clamping driving assembly, and the positioning needle push rod assembly is sleeved on the clamp Holding the outside of the push rod assembly, the positioning needle push rod assembly and the positioning needle drive assembly are rotatably connected, and the positioning needle push rod assembly and the positioning needle drive assembly are axially relatively fixed and rotate relative to each other, clamping the push rod assembly and the clamp The holding and driving assembly is connected in rotation, and the axial direction between the clamping push rod assembly and the clamping driving assembly is relatively fixed and the two rotate relative to each other, and the control member drives the clamping push rod assembly to rotate to make the clamping member rotate relative to the clamping driving assembly, And the control member drives the positioning needle push rod assembly to rotate through the clamping push rod assembly, so that the positioning needle rotates relative to the positioning needle driving assembly. The steering of the end of the stapler is driven by the rotating control member, which is convenient for the operator to control the steering of the end without the hand-held handle part being rotated, and is convenient to use.

The present application provides a transverse endoluminal stapler with a compact structure, including an end effector, a connecting outer tube, and a driving assembly at least partially arranged in the connecting outer tube. The assembly includes a drive housing for driving the staple cartridge housing; the staple cartridge housing is arranged in the staple cartridge accommodating chamber of the drive housing, and the staple cartridge accommodating chamber is provided with an opening for the staple cartridge housing to be connected to the central axis of the outer tube. One end of the positioning pin is arranged in the accommodating chamber of the staple cartridge, the staple cartridge is provided with a positioning pin hole for the positioning pin to pass through, and the other end of the positioning pin is connected with the positioning pin driving mechanism. The structural installation method of the original transverse stapler is improved, the assembly is more compact, and the radial dimension of the transverse stapler is effectively reduced, so that it can enter the laparoscopic surgery channel with a small inner diameter, so that it can be used in the cavity Operation.

The invention relates to a medical mechanical arm. The medical mechanical arm comprises a mounting structure, a bracket structure, a driving structure and a control structure, wherein one end of the bracket structure is fixed at the mounting structure, a mounting site is arranged at the other end of the bracket structure and is used for mounting surgical instruments in a mounting cavity; the driving structure is arranged in the bracket structure and is in driving connection with the surgical instruments in the mounting cavity in the mounting site; and the control structure is connected to themounting structure, one end of the control structure faces towards the mounting site, and the control structure is used for connecting the surgical instruments in the mounting cavity through the driving structure and controlling the surgical instruments in the mounting cavity in the same direction. The medical mechanical arm is simple in design and light in structure, and the surgical operation can be realized by one hand of a user; the structure is simple, so that the collision is avoided; by utilizing a homodromous control manner, the problems that the reverse operation and control are required by a user in a traditional mode are avoided; and the medical mechanical arm is accordant with the operation habit of the user, so that the medical accidents caused by the misoperation can be reduced, and the surgical efficiency is improved.
