The invention belongs to the technical field of
medical instruments, and discloses an extendable
gastrointestinal decompression tube suitable for
upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery, which comprises a tube body, a through main drainage channel is arranged in the tube body, the tube body is divided into a far-end
straight tube section, an extendable section and a near-end
straight tube section, a far-end anchoring head is arranged at the end of the far-end
straight tube section, and a near-end anchoring head is arranged at the end of the near-end straight tube section. A main drainage hole is formed in the end of the far-end anchoring head, a drainage side hole is formed in the side wall of the far-end straight
pipe section, and the main drainage hole and the drainage side hole are communicated with the main drainage channel. The extendable section is a corrugated
pipe; the
tail end of the near-end straight
pipe section is detachably connected with an activation and connection module; in an initial state, the corrugated pipe is in a contraction state, and under the traction of external force, the corrugated pipe is subjected to plastic deformation, is straightened and is kept in an extension state without retraction. The decompression tube can avoid potential damage to an anastomotic
stoma caused by blind
insertion of a
stomach tube after a traditional operation, so that the risk of complications such as bleeding,
edema and even
fistula of the anastomotic
stoma is effectively reduced, the
operation safety is improved, and the operation difficulty of placing the gastrointestinal tube is remarkably reduced.
