【技術分野】
本発明は、内視鏡観察下で病変部を切除する際に用いる、内視鏡用誘導手段誘導システム、及び内視鏡用誘導装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来技術及びその問題点】
従来、通常の手術において人体内部の病変部を切除する場合においては、把持鉗子を用いて病変部を持ち上げることにより病変部と隣接する正常組織との間隔を広げ、その状態で病変部と正常組織との間を切除している。しかし、例えば内視鏡粘膜切除術(EMR)では、体内には内視鏡を一台しか挿入できないため、病変を持ち上げることができず、注射針で病変部の周囲の正常粘膜に生理食塩水を注入して病変部を浮き上がらせ、その状態で高周波ナイフやスネアなどを用いて病変部と正常粘膜の間の切除を行っていた。
【0003】
しかし、このような従来の方法では、病変部を十分な位置まで持ち上げることができなかったため、病変部と正常組織との境界の切除部分を十分確保することができなかった。
また、病変部が扁平な形状である場合は、切除部分を作りだすことができないこともあった。
【0004】
さらに、切除作業中において、すでに切除した病変部が正常組織上に落ち込むことにより内視鏡による視界を妨げることがあり、特に病変部が大きい場合に顕著であった。そのため、切除部分を見ることができず、盲目的に切除するために正常部分を損傷して穿孔などの合併症が発生したり、血管を損傷して大出血をきたし、また出血時も出血部位の確認ができず止血できないことから重篤な合併症を来すことも考えられ、より安全な装置や処置方法が求められていた。
【0005】
そこで本出願人は、これらの問題点を解決すべく、人体内部の病変部を把持するクリップと、該クリップと連結される磁性体からなる磁気誘導手段(磁気アンカー)と、人体の外部に配置され、磁界を発生して磁気誘導手段に動力を与える磁気誘導手段誘導装置と、を備え、磁気誘導手段誘導装置が発生する磁界によって磁気誘導手段に動力を与えて、クリップによって把持された病変部を持ち上げることを特徴とする磁気誘導手段誘導システムを提案し、特許出願している(特願2002−268239号)。
【0006】
しかし、この特許出願で用いられているクリップによる把持力はそれほど大きくないので、磁気誘導手段に付与された動力が大きい場合には、クリップが病変部から外れてしまうおそれがあった。このようにクリップが病変部から外れてしまうと、再度クリップを病変部に把持する作業が必要になるため、病変部の処置作業に長時間を要し、術者及び患者の負担が増大してしまう。
【0007】
【発明の目的】
本発明の目的は、誘導手段と連結された突刺取付具を、対象物内部の対象部位に突き刺した後に、確実に抜け止めすることが可能な、内視鏡用誘導手段誘導システム、及び内視鏡用誘導装置を提供することにある。

【0010】
【0011】
【0012】
別の態様によれば、本発明の内視鏡用誘導手段誘導システムは、対象物内部の対象部位に、突き刺し可能な突刺取付具と、重力に従って移動する、非磁性体からなる重力誘導手段と、該重力誘導手段と上記突刺取付具とを接続する柔軟な連結ひもと、を具備する内視鏡用誘導手段誘導システムであって、上記突刺取付具が、その先端部に針部を有する突刺部材と、上記対象部位への突刺完了状態で抜去方向に移動させようとするとき抵抗となる返し部材と、を備えたことを特徴としている。

さらに、いずれの態様でも、内視鏡の鉗子チャンネルに挿脱可能であるとともに、上記突刺取付具を把持しながら上記対象部位に突き刺す把持鉗子を具備するのが好ましい。
【0016】
本発明の内視鏡用誘導装置は、対象物内部の対象部位に、突き刺し可能な突刺取付具と、磁性体からなり、上記対象物外部で発生した磁力によって吸引される磁気誘導手段と、該磁気誘導手段と上記突刺取付具とを接続する柔軟な連結ひもと、を具備し、上記突刺取付具が、その先端部に針部を有する突刺部材と、上記対象部位への突刺完了状態で抜去方向に移動させようとするとき抵抗となる返し部材と、を備えたことを特徴としている。

【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の第1の実施形態を、図1から図12を参照しながら説明する。
本実施形態の誘導手段誘導システムは、磁気誘導装置10(磁気誘導手段11、突刺取付具12、及び連結ひも16)と、内視鏡20と、突刺取付具12の舌状粘膜Yへの突刺操作等を行う把持鉗子30と、磁気誘導装置10を体外において吸引制御する(磁気誘導手段11に磁力を及ぼす)磁気誘導手段誘導装置40とからなるものである。
【0025】
まず、図1を参照して、磁気誘導装置10の構成について説明する。
磁気誘導手段11は、略円柱形をなす前部11aと、略三角錐状をなす後部11bとからなるものであり、全体が強磁性体によって成形されている。磁性体の具体例としては、純鉄、鉄合金のほか、プラチナマグネット、希土類磁石、テルビウム・ディスプロシウム・鉄合金などの磁石がある。
【0026】
突刺取付具12は、その先端に尖鋭な針部13aを有する長寸の突刺部材13と、その先端に尖鋭な針部14aを有する、突刺部材13より短寸の抜止部材(返し部材)14と、突刺部材13と抜止部材14とを結合する圧縮ばね(返し部材)(付勢手段)15と、を具備するものである。圧縮ばね15は、抜止部材14の針部14aが突刺部材13の針部13aに接触し、後端部が突刺部材13から離間するように、抜止部材14を常時付勢している。
【0027】
磁気誘導手段11の後部11bには、柔軟性を有する連結ひも16の一端が固着されており、連結ひも16の他端は、突刺部材13の基端に固く結ばれており、この連結ひも16を介して、突刺取付具12と磁気誘導手段11が連結されている。連結ひも16としては、例えば、手術用縫合糸、釣糸、金属製ワイヤを使用することができる。
【0028】
図2は、誘導手段誘導システムを用いた切除術の実施に用いる内視鏡20を示している。
内視鏡20の構造は公知なので詳しい説明は省略するが、体内に挿入される挿入部21の先端面22には、エア及び洗浄水を送るための送気送水ノズル(図示略)、切除部及びその周辺を照らすための照明窓(図示略)、切除部及びその周辺を観察するとともに、直後に対物レンズが配置された観察窓(いずれも図示略)、並びに、鉗子チャネルCの出口23(図7及び図8参照)が設けられている。鉗子チャンネルCは挿入部21内に形成されており、その入口24aは鉗子挿入口突起24の端面に形成されている。
【0029】
図3及び図4等に示す把持鉗子30は、内視鏡20の鉗子チャンネルC内に挿脱されるものである。
把持鉗子30は、その先端に開閉可能な一対の把持爪31、32を具備しており、その基端に設けられた操作部(図示略)を操作することにより、把持爪31、32を、図3に示す全閉状態と図4に示す全開状態との間で変化させることができる。
【0030】
次に、図5及び図6を用いて、患者Aの体外において磁気誘導手段11を吸引制御する磁気誘導手段誘導装置40の構成について説明する。
患者Aを載せる床板41aを具備するベッド41の両側部には、一対のXYステージ(一方向移動機構)42、42が配設されている。この一対のXYステージ42は、ベッド41の長手方向に沿って、両者42、42の該長手方向位置が常時同じになるように、直線的に往復移動するものである。さらに、ベッド41の上方には、ベッド41の長手方向と直交する平面内において互いに平行をなす、正面視略逆U字形の二つのレール44、45からなるフレーム/レール(一平面内移動機構)43が配設されており、このフレーム/レール43の両端部は、左右のXYステージ42にそれぞれ固定されている。内側のレール44には、磁気誘導装置10の磁気誘導手段11を体外において吸引制御する(磁気誘導手段11に磁力を及ぼす)磁気誘導部材46が摺動自在に装着されており、磁気誘導部材46は左右のXYステージ42の間を、レール45に沿って移動することができる。磁気誘導部材46は、鉄心にコイルを巻いた構造の電磁石47を基体48上に固定したものであり、その電磁石47は常時、患者A側を向いている(図5参照)。なお、磁気誘導部材46は、永久磁石と電磁石の組み合わせでもよく、また、永久磁石と電磁石を2個以上組み合わせたものでも良い。
【0031】
フレーム/レール43の外側のレール45には、フレーム/レール43全体の重量バランスを保つためのカウンターウエイト49がレール45に摺動自在に装着されている。カウンターウエイト49は、磁気誘導部材46の位置に応じて、その位置を変更する。例えば、磁気誘導部材46が患者Aの正面側に位置するときは、カウンターウエイト49は患者Aの背面側に位置し、磁気誘導部材46が患者Aの背面側にあるときは、カウンターウエイト49は患者Aの正面側に位置して、フレーム/レール43全体の重量バランスをとっている。
そして、以上説明した磁気誘導部材46、XYステージ42、フレーム/レール43により磁気誘導手段誘導装置40が構成されている。
【0032】
次に、誘導手段誘導システムを用いた病変部Xの切除要領について説明する。
誘導手段誘導システムを用いた切除術の実施に先立っては、まず、図5及び図6に示すように、局所麻酔を施した患者Aをベッド41の床板41a上に横たわらせる。このとき、XYステージ42を操作して、フレーム/レール43のベッド41の長手方向位置を、患者Aの頭部A1とほぼ同じ位置にしておき、さらに、磁気誘導部材46及びカウンターウエイト49を所定の場所に位置させておく。
次に、XYステージ42を操作してフレーム/レール43を患者Aの正面側に配置させ、さらに、磁気誘導装置46をフレーム/レール43に沿って移動させて、磁気誘導部材46を切除術開始時位置に位置させる(図6参照)。
【0033】
次いで、図示を省略した可撓性を有するオーバーチューブを、患者Aの口から体内に挿入し、このオーバーチューブの先端部を、臓器B(図9から図12等参照)(対象物)内の病変部Xに近接させる。そして、内視鏡20をオーバーチューブ内に挿入し、挿入部21の先端部をオーバーチューブの先端から突出させ、病変部Xに近接させる(図示略)。このように、内視鏡20の挿入部21の先端を臓器B内に挿入すると、内視鏡20の観察窓から得られた臓器B内の観察像が、図示を省略したテレビモニタに写し出される。
【0034】
次いで、鉗子挿入口突起24の入口24aから、先端部に注射針を具備するチューブ状の処置具(図示略)を挿入し、その注射針を挿入部21の出口23から突出させて、注射針を病変部Xの周辺から臓器壁の粘膜下層B1に挿入して生理食塩水を注入し、病変部Xを固有筋層B2から浮き上がらせておく。
次いで、内視鏡20の鉗子チャンネルCから該処置具を取り出し、代わりに、図9に示すような高周波メス50(図9では内視鏡20の図示は省略)を挿入し、その先端50aにより、病変部X近傍の粘膜に切り込みを入れ、病変部X近傍に舌状粘膜(対象部位)Yを形成する(図9から図12参照)。
【0035】
次に、患者Aの体内から内視鏡20を取り出し、さらに、鉗子チャンネルCから高周波メス50を抜き取り、患者Aの体外において、内視鏡20に、把持鉗子30と磁気誘導装置10を、次の手順で取り付ける。
【0036】
まず、予め把持鉗子30の操作部を操作して、把持爪31、32を全閉状態にしておき、把持鉗子30を鉗子挿入口突起24の入口24aから鉗子チャンネルCに挿入し、図7に示すように、両把持爪31、32を、内視鏡20の先端面22から突出させる。
【0037】
次いで、操作部を操作して把持爪31、32を開き、その後、内視鏡20の前方から、突刺取付具12を把持爪31、32に接近させ、さらに操作部を操作して、把持爪31、32を全閉状態に戻し、両把持爪31、32により、突刺取付具12の突刺部材13を把持する(図7参照)。
このようにして、把持鉗子30によって突刺取付具12を把持したら、鉗子挿入口突起24から後方に突出している把持鉗子30の基端部(図示略)を後方に牽引して、突刺取付具12と連結ひも16を鉗子チャンネルC内に完全に収納し、かつ、磁気誘導手段11の後部11bの一部を鉗子チャンネルC内に収納し、後部11bを挿入部21の先端面22に当接させ、内視鏡20と磁気誘導装置10と把持鉗子30を一体化する(図8参照)。
【0038】
次に、このような状態の内視鏡20を再び臓器B内に挿入し、挿入部21の先端部を舌状粘膜Yに近接させた後、把持鉗子(図9から図11では図示略)30を内視鏡20に対して相対的に舌状粘膜Y側に移動させる。すると、磁気誘導手段11が内視鏡20から離脱するとともに、突刺取付具12が舌状粘膜Yに近接する(図9参照)。さらに、把持鉗子30を操作して、突刺部材13と抜止部材14の針部13a、14aを舌状粘膜Yに突き刺すと、図10に示すように、突刺部材13と抜止部材14が舌状粘膜Yから抵抗を受けるので、圧縮ばね15の付勢力に抗して、抜止部材14がその針部14aを中心にして突刺部材13側に回転する。このように、抜止部材14が突刺部材13側に接近すると、突刺部材13と抜止部材14が舌状粘膜Yから受ける抵抗力が小さくなるので、突刺部材13と抜止部材14は舌状粘膜Yにスムーズに突き刺さるようになる。
そして、図11に示すように、抜止部材14の基端が舌状粘膜Yを突き抜けると、圧縮ばね15の付勢力により、抜止部材14は、その基端が突刺部材13から離れる方向に回転するので、抜止部材14と突刺部材13の距離が広がり、抜止部材14により、突刺部材13と抜止部材14が舌状粘膜Yから完全に抜け止めされる。
【0039】
続いて、把持鉗子30の操作部を操作して、両把持爪31、32を全開状態にして、把持鉗子30から突刺取付具12を解放する。
続いて、図12に示すように、患者Aの体外に配置されている磁気誘導部材46の発生磁界を強めることによって、磁気誘導手段11を磁力によって、図12の上側に吸引すると、連結ひも16全体が緊張して、突刺取付具12が磁力方向(図12の上方)に移動し、突刺取付具12と一体となっている舌状粘膜Yが同方向に移動するので、病変部Xも同方向に十分な距離だけ確実に移動する。
【0040】
このように、病変部Xを所望方向に所望距離だけ移動させると、病変部Xと正常組織との境界部に、十分な大きさの切除部分が形成されるので、高周波メス50(図12では図示略)により、病変部Xを粘膜とともに一方の端部側から切除する。
そして、病変部Xを一方の端部側から反対の端部側に切除すると、やがて、病変部X全体が完全に切除される(図示略)。
なお、高周波メス50による切除作業時においては、切除領域が拡がるにつれて、高周波メス50の先端50aの位置の確認は、より容易となる。
【0041】
以上のように切除作業を終えると、正常組織から切り離された病変部Xは突刺取付具12(磁気誘導装置10)との一体状態を維持するので、病変部Xが紛失することが防止される。切除した病変部Xを回収するには、内視鏡20の鉗子チャンネルCから高周波メス50を引き抜いた後、把持鉗子30を再び鉗子チャンネルCに挿入し、把持鉗子30により突刺取付具12を把持し、そのままの状態で内視鏡20を体内から抜き去り、病変部Xを磁気誘導装置10とともに体外に取り出す。その後に、切除した部分の縫合、消毒などの処置を行う。
【0042】
以上のように、本実施形態の誘導手段誘導システムを用いれば、磁気誘導装置10の一部をなす突刺取付具12を、舌状粘膜Yにスムーズに突き刺すことができ、しかも、抜止部材14により、突刺取付具12を舌状粘膜Yから確実に抜け止めすることができる。従って、磁気誘導手段11に付与された磁力が大きくても、舌状粘膜Yから突刺取付具12が抜け出すことはない。このため、従来のようにクリップで病変部Xを把持する場合に比べて、術者及び患者の負担を軽減することができる。
【0043】
さらに、病変部Xを所望方向に十分な距離だけ移動させることができるため、病変部Xと正常組織との境界の切除部分を、容易かつ確実に十分な大きさで確保することができ、また、病変部Xが扁平な形状であっても、十分な大きさの切除部分を作りだすことができるので、病変部Xを容易に切除することが可能となる。
【0044】
さらに、病変部Xは突刺取付具12により持ち上げられるため、切除部分を十分確保することができ、すでに切除した病変部Xが固有筋層B2上に落ち込むことを防止できる。
また、任意の位置に突刺取付具12を配置できるため、切除した病変部Xにより内視鏡20の視界が妨げられることがない。
【0045】
次に、本発明の第2の実施形態について、図13を参照しながら説明する。
なお、第1の実施形態と同じ部材には同じ符号を付すに止めて、その詳細な説明は省略する。
【0046】
本実施形態の誘導手段誘導システムは、重力誘導装置60(重力誘導手段61、突刺取付具12、及び連結ひも16からなる)と、内視鏡20と、把持鉗子30とからなるものである。
重力誘導手段61の外形は磁気誘導手段11と同じであり、前部61aと、後部61bとを具備している。この重力誘導手段61は全体が非磁性体によって成形されており、非磁性体の具体例としては、金、銅、アルミニウム、ステンレス(オーステナイト系)、真鍮、セラミック、硝子等がある。
【0047】
この重力誘導装置60は、第1の実施形態と同じ要領により、内視鏡20に装着された状態で臓器B内に挿入された後、その突刺取付具12が把持鉗子30により舌状粘膜Yに取り付けられ、その後、把持鉗子30から解放される。
図13に示すように、重力誘導手段61は重力Pに従って移動するので、患者Aの体勢を変えて、重力誘導手段61を重力方向下方に移動させると、ひも部16が緊張して、突刺取付具12が取り付けられた病変部Yが重力方向下方に移動する。このため、病変部Xと正常組織との境界部に、十分な大きさの切除部分が形成されるので、高周波メス50(図13では図示略)で病変部Xを切除する。
【0048】
以上のように、本実施形態の誘導手段誘導システムによっても、第1の実施形態と同様に、重力誘導装置60の一部をなす突刺取付具12を、舌状粘膜Yにスムーズに突き刺すことができ、しかも、貫通後は抜止部材14により確実に抜け止めすることができる。そのため、重力誘導手段61の質量が大きくても、舌状粘膜Yから突刺取付具12が抜け出すことはない。
さらに、本実施形態では、第1の実施形態では必要であった高価な装置である磁気誘導手段誘導装置40が不要になるので、第1の実施形態に比べて、コスト的に有利である。
【0049】
本発明について上記実施形態を参照しつつ説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、改良の目的または本発明の思想の範囲内において改良または変更が可能である。例えば、突刺取付具12を、複数の抜止部材14と圧縮ばね15を備えるものとすることも可能である。
さらに、突刺取付具を、圧縮ばね15を省略し、突刺部13の針部13aに抜止部材14の針部14aを固着したものとしてもよい。このような突刺取付具も、舌状粘膜Yを貫通した後は、抜止部材14により、舌状粘膜Yから確実に抜け止めされる。
【0050】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によると、誘導手段と連結された突刺取付具を、対象物内部の対象部位に突き刺した後に、確実に抜け止めすることが可能となる。

【Technical field】
The present invention relates to an endoscope guidance means guidance system and an endoscope guidance device used when excising a lesioned part under endoscopic observation.
[0002]
[Prior art and its problems]
Conventionally, when excising a lesion inside a human body in a normal operation, the distance between the lesion and the adjacent normal tissue is widened by lifting the lesion using a grasping forceps, and the lesion and the normal tissue are in that state. It is excised between. However, for example, in endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), since only one endoscope can be inserted into the body, the lesion cannot be lifted, and physiological saline is applied to the normal mucosa around the lesion with an injection needle. The lesion was lifted by injecting, and in that state, excision between the lesion and the normal mucous membrane was performed using a high-frequency knife or snare.
[0003]
However, in such a conventional method, the lesioned part could not be lifted to a sufficient position, and thus a sufficient excision part at the boundary between the lesioned part and the normal tissue could not be secured.

[0004]
Further, during the excision work, the already excised lesioned part may fall on the normal tissue, thereby obstructing the field of view by the endoscope, particularly when the lesioned part is large. For this reason, the excised part cannot be seen, and in order to remove it blindly, the normal part is damaged and complications such as perforation occur, blood vessels are damaged and major bleeding occurs. Since it could not be confirmed and hemostasis could not be achieved, serious complications could occur, and a safer device and treatment method were required.
[0005]
Therefore, in order to solve these problems, the present applicant arranges a clip for gripping a lesion in the human body, a magnetic guiding means (magnetic anchor) made of a magnetic material connected to the clip, and a human body. is provided with a magnetic induction means guiding device to power the magnetic induction means to generate a magnetic field, and power the magnetic induction means by a magnetic field magnetic induction means guiding device occurs, lesions that are gripped by the clip Proposed a magnetic guidance means guidance system characterized by lifting and lifting a patent (Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-268239).
[0006]
However, since the gripping force by the clip used in this patent application is not so large, when the power applied to the magnetic guiding means is large, the clip may be detached from the lesion. If the clip is detached from the lesioned part in this way, it becomes necessary to grip the clip again on the lesioned part, so that it takes a long time to treat the lesioned part, which increases the burden on the operator and the patient. End up.
[0007]

And an illumination window for illuminating the periphery thereof (not shown), an observation window (not shown) in which an objective lens is disposed immediately after observing the excision and the periphery thereof, and an outlet 23 of the forceps channel C (not shown) 7 and 8). The forceps channel C is formed in the insertion portion 21, and its inlet 24 a is formed on the end surface of the forceps insertion port protrusion 24.
[0029]
The grasping forceps 30 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are inserted into and removed from the forceps channel C of the endoscope 20.
The grasping forceps 30 includes a pair of grasping claws 31 and 32 that can be opened and closed at the distal end thereof. By operating an operation unit (not shown) provided at the base end, the grasping claws 31 and 32 are It can be changed between the fully closed state shown in FIG. 3 and the fully opened state shown in FIG.
[0030]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, description will be given of a configuration of the magnetic induction means guiding device 40 for sucking controls the magnetic guiding device 11 in the outside of the patient's body A.
A pair of XY stages (one-way moving mechanisms) 42 and 42 are disposed on both sides of the bed 41 having a floor plate 41a on which the patient A is placed. The pair of XY stages 42 reciprocate linearly along the longitudinal direction of the bed 41 so that the longitudinal positions of the both 42 and 42 are always the same. Further, above the bed 41, a frame / rail (two-plane moving mechanism) composed of two rails 44 and 45 that are substantially U-shaped in front view and are parallel to each other in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the bed 41. 43, and both ends of the frame / rail 43 are fixed to the left and right XY stages 42, respectively. Inside the rail 44, (on a magnetic force to the magnetic induction means 11) for the magnetic induction means 11 for suction control in vitro of the magnetic induction apparatus 10 magnetic induction member 46 is mounted slidably, magnetic induction member 46 Can move along the rail 45 between the left and right XY stages 42. The magnetic induction member 46 is obtained by fixing an electromagnet 47 having a structure in which a coil is wound around an iron core on a base 48, and the electromagnet 47 always faces the patient A side (see FIG. 5). The magnetic induction member 46 may be a combination of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet, or a combination of two or more permanent magnets and electromagnets.
[0031]
A counterweight 49 for maintaining the weight balance of the entire frame / rail 43 is slidably mounted on the rail 45 on the rail 45 outside the frame / rail 43. The counterweight 49 changes its position according to the position of the magnetic induction member 46. For example, when the magnetic guide member 46 is located on the front side of the patient A, the counterweight 49 is located on the back side of the patient A, and when the magnetic guide member 46 is on the back side of the patient A, the counterweight 49 is Located on the front side of the patient A, the entire frame / rail 43 is balanced in weight.
The above magnetic induction member 46, XY stage 42 described, the magnetic induction means guiding device 40 by a frame / rail 43 is constituted.
[0032]
Next, the excision procedure of the lesion X using the guidance means guidance system will be described.
Prior to performing excision using the guiding means guiding system, first, the patient A subjected to local anesthesia is laid on the floor plate 41a of the bed 41 as shown in FIGS. At this time, the XY stage 42 is operated so that the longitudinal direction position of the bed 41 of the frame / rail 43 is substantially the same position as the head A1 of the patient A, and the magnetic induction member 46 and the counterweight 49 are set to a predetermined position. Keep it in the place.
Next, the XY stage 42 is operated to place the frame / rail 43 on the front side of the patient A, and the magnetic guiding device 46 is moved along the frame / rail 43 to start excision of the magnetic guiding member 46. Position at the hour position (see FIG. 6).
[0033]
Next, a flexible overtube (not shown) is inserted into the body from the mouth of the patient A, and the tip of the overtube is inserted into the organ B (see FIG. 9 to FIG. 12) (target). Close to the lesion X. Then, the endoscope 20 is inserted into the overtube, the distal end portion of the insertion portion 21 is projected from the distal end of the overtube, and is brought close to the lesioned portion X (not shown). As described above, when the distal end of the insertion portion 21 of the endoscope 20 is inserted into the organ B, an observation image in the organ B obtained from the observation window of the endoscope 20 is displayed on a television monitor (not shown). .
[0034]
Next, a tube-like treatment instrument (not shown) having an injection needle is inserted into the distal end portion from the inlet 24a of the forceps insertion port projection 24, and the injection needle is protruded from the outlet 23 of the insertion portion 21, so that the injection needle Is inserted into the submucosal layer B1 of the organ wall from around the lesioned part X, and physiological saline is injected, and the lesioned part X is lifted from the proper muscle layer B2.
Next, the treatment tool is taken out from the forceps channel C of the endoscope 20, and instead, a high-frequency knife 50 as shown in FIG. 9 (the illustration of the endoscope 20 is omitted in FIG. 9) is inserted, and its distal end 50a is used. Then, a cut is made in the mucous membrane in the vicinity of the lesion X, and a lingual mucosa (target site) Y is formed in the vicinity of the lesion X (see FIGS. 9 to 12).
[0035]
Next, the endoscope 20 is taken out from the body of the patient A, the high-frequency knife 50 is further removed from the forceps channel C, and the grasping forceps 30 and the magnetic guiding device 10 are next placed on the endoscope 20 outside the body of the patient A. Install according to the procedure.
[0036]
First, the operation part of the grasping forceps 30 is operated in advance so that the grasping claws 31 and 32 are fully closed, and the grasping forceps 30 is inserted into the forceps channel C from the inlet 24a of the forceps insertion port projection 24, as shown in FIG. As shown, both gripping claws 31 and 32 are projected from the distal end surface 22 of the endoscope 20.
[0037]
Next, the gripping claws 31 and 32 are opened by operating the operation unit, and then the piercing fixture 12 is brought close to the gripping claws 31 and 32 from the front of the endoscope 20, and the gripping claws are further operated by operating the operation unit. 31 and 32 are returned to a fully closed state, and the piercing member 13 of the piercing fixture 12 is gripped by both gripping claws 31 and 32 (see FIG. 7).
When the piercing fixture 12 is gripped by the gripping forceps 30 in this way, the proximal end portion (not shown) of the gripping forceps 30 protruding rearward from the forceps insertion port projection 24 is pulled backward to pierce the piercing fixture 12. And the connecting string 16 are completely accommodated in the forceps channel C, and a part of the rear part 11b of the magnetic guiding means 11 is accommodated in the forceps channel C, and the rear part 11b is brought into contact with the distal end surface 22 of the insertion part 21. The endoscope 20, the magnetic guidance device 10, and the grasping forceps 30 are integrated (see FIG. 8).
[0038]
Next, the endoscope 20 in such a state is inserted again into the organ B, the distal end portion of the insertion portion 21 is brought close to the tongue-like mucosa Y, and then grasping forceps (not shown in FIGS. 9 to 11). 30 is moved relative to the endoscope 20 toward the lingual mucosa Y side. Then, the magnetic guiding means 11 is detached from the endoscope 20, and the puncture fitting 12 is brought close to the tongue-like mucosa Y (see FIG. 9). Further, when the grasping forceps 30 are operated and the needle portions 13a and 14a of the piercing member 13 and the retaining member 14 are pierced into the tongue-shaped mucous membrane Y, as shown in FIG. Since resistance is received from Y, the retaining member 14 rotates toward the piercing member 13 around the needle portion 14a against the urging force of the compression spring 15. Thus, when the retaining member 14 approaches the piercing member 13 side, the resistance force that the piercing member 13 and the retaining member 14 receive from the tongue-shaped mucosa Y decreases, so that the piercing member 13 and the retaining member 14 become the tongue-shaped mucosa Y. It comes to pierce smoothly.
Then, as shown in FIG. 11, when the proximal end of the retaining member 14 penetrates the tongue-shaped mucous membrane Y, the retaining member 14 rotates in a direction in which the proximal end separates from the piercing member 13 by the biasing force of the compression spring 15. Therefore, the distance between the retaining member 14 and the piercing member 13 is widened, and the retaining member 14 completely prevents the piercing member 13 and the retaining member 14 from coming off the tongue-shaped mucosa Y.
[0039]
Subsequently, the operation unit of the grasping forceps 30 is operated to open both the grasping claws 31 and 32 and release the piercing fixture 12 from the grasping forceps 30.
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 12, when the magnetic induction means 11 is attracted to the upper side of FIG. 12 by increasing the magnetic field generated by the magnetic induction member 46 arranged outside the body of the patient A, the connecting string 16 is obtained. As the whole is tensed, the puncture attachment 12 moves in the direction of magnetic force (upward in FIG. 12), and the tongue-like mucosa Y integrated with the puncture attachment 12 moves in the same direction. Make sure to move a sufficient distance in the direction.
[0040]
As described above, when the lesioned part X is moved by a desired distance in a desired direction, a sufficiently large excision part is formed at the boundary between the lesioned part X and the normal tissue. The lesioned part X is excised together with the mucous membrane from one end side.
When the lesioned part X is excised from one end side to the opposite end side, the entire lesioned part X is eventually completely excised (not shown).
At the time of excision work with the high-frequency knife 50, the position of the tip 50a of the high-frequency knife 50 becomes easier to confirm as the excision area is expanded.
[0041]
When the excision work is completed as described above, the lesioned part X separated from the normal tissue maintains an integrated state with the puncture attachment 12 (magnetic guiding device 10), so that the lesioned part X is prevented from being lost. . In order to collect the excised lesion X, the high-frequency knife 50 is pulled out from the forceps channel C of the endoscope 20, the gripping forceps 30 are inserted into the forceps channel C again, and the piercing fixture 12 is gripped by the gripping forceps 30. In this state, the endoscope 20 is removed from the body, and the lesion X is taken out of the body together with the magnetic guidance device 10. Thereafter, treatments such as suturing and disinfection of the excised part are performed.
[0042]
As described above, by using the guiding means guiding system of the present embodiment, the piercing fixture 12 that forms part of the magnetic guiding device 10 can be smoothly pierced into the tongue-like mucous membrane Y, and the retaining member 14 The puncture attachment 12 can be reliably prevented from coming off the tongue-like mucosa Y. Therefore, even if the magnetic force applied to the magnetic guiding means 11 is large, the puncture fitting 12 does not come out of the tongue-shaped mucosa Y. For this reason, compared with the case where the lesioned part X is hold | gripped with a clip conventionally, the burden of an operator and a patient can be reduced.
[0043]
Further, since the lesioned part X can be moved in a desired direction by a sufficient distance, the excision part at the boundary between the lesioned part X and the normal tissue can be easily and reliably secured with a sufficient size. Even if the lesioned part X has a flat shape, a sufficiently large excision part can be created, so that the lesioned part X can be easily excised.
[0044]
Furthermore, since the lesioned part X is lifted by the piercing fixture 12, a sufficient excised part can be secured, and the already excised lesioned part X can be prevented from falling on the proper muscle layer B2.
Moreover, since the puncture attachment 12 can be arrange | positioned in arbitrary positions, the visual field of the endoscope 20 is not prevented by the excised lesioned part X.
[0045]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The same members as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
[0046]
The guiding means guiding system according to the present embodiment includes a gravity guiding device 60 (consisting of a gravity guiding means 61, a piercing fixture 12, and a connecting string 16), an endoscope 20, and a grasping forceps 30.
The outer shape of the gravity guiding means 61 is the same as that of the magnetic guiding means 11, and includes a front part 61a and a rear part 61b. The gravity guiding means 61 is entirely formed of a nonmagnetic material, and specific examples of the nonmagnetic material include gold, copper, aluminum, stainless steel (austenite), brass, ceramic, glass, and the like.
[0047]
The gravity guiding device 60 is inserted into the organ B in a state of being attached to the endoscope 20 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and then the puncture attachment 12 is attached to the lingual mucosa Y by the grasping forceps 30. And then released from the grasping forceps 30.
As shown in FIG. 13, since the gravity guiding means 61 moves according to the gravity P, if the posture of the patient A is changed and the gravity guiding means 61 is moved downward in the direction of gravity, the string portion 16 is tensioned and the piercing is attached. The lesion Y to which the tool 12 is attached moves downward in the direction of gravity. For this reason, a sufficiently large excision part is formed at the boundary between the lesion X and the normal tissue. Therefore, the lesion X is excised with the high-frequency knife 50 (not shown in FIG. 13).
[0048]
As described above, also with the guiding means guiding system of the present embodiment, the piercing fixture 12 that forms a part of the gravity guiding device 60 can be smoothly pierced into the lingual mucosa Y as in the first embodiment. In addition, after the penetration, the retaining member 14 can surely prevent the retaining. Therefore, even if the mass of the gravity guiding means 61 is large, the puncture fitting 12 does not come out of the tongue-shaped mucosa Y.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the magnetic guiding means guiding device 40, which is an expensive device necessary in the first embodiment, is unnecessary, which is advantageous in terms of cost compared to the first embodiment.
[0049]
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be improved or changed within the scope of the purpose of the improvement or the idea of the present invention. For example, the piercing fixture 12 can include a plurality of retaining members 14 and compression springs 15.
Further, the piercing fixture may be configured such that the compression spring 15 is omitted and the needle portion 14a of the retaining member 14 is fixed to the needle portion 13a of the piercing portion 13. Such a piercing fixture is also reliably prevented from coming off the tongue-like mucous membrane Y by the retaining member 14 after penetrating the tongue-like mucosa Y.
[0050]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the piercing fixture connected to the guiding means can be surely prevented from coming off after piercing the target portion inside the target object.
